A faery sighting near Pittsburgh transforms one woman's life forever...and maybe yours, too. When Lilith Devlin, Pittsburgh bookstore manager retires to her garden one evening with Cleo, her cat, magic happens. BOOK EXCERPT: She thought she'd seen every possible being, and yet, after she nestled on the bench, Cleo curled below by her feet, she noticed something new. A pink light pulsed from the soft, green leaves of the peony bush, whose blossoms were but a memory of a few weeks last May. "Lightning bugs aren't pink." Lilith rose to investigate, leaving Cleo sleeping. She pulled back her long, curly red hair and bent down closer, too curious to be afraid of the world in her garden. "It's about time," the small creature said. Lilith held her breath, closed her eyes, and counted to ten. When she opened her eyes again, the creature still sat there on a leaf, legs crossed. She looked like a tiny person with wings, a pink person with long, blond, wispy hair. Her dragonfly-type wings spread wide and clear, with pink glowing at their edges. "Time for what?" Lilith said, unwilling to believe her eyes. She knew what she'd eaten for dinner couldn't explain this hallucination. THE STORY: Lilith Devlin's dreams, buried years ago, re-emerge when Florinda the faery appears in her Pittsburgh garden and asks her to write a faery novel and to perform a mysterious mission. Thought the faery promises love, she's paralyzed by fear, for her life of working as a bookstore manager, living in seclusion with her cat, will change. She balks until circumstances force her to agree. Right away, she flies to Ireland, where Old World faeries fascinate her with their ways. While there, she meets and is strongly attracted to New York editor Adam Kramer, who expresses keen interest in her faery novel. Her romantic hopes are waylaid, however, by his wedding band and female companion. Yet weeks later, she and Adam land in Antananarivo, Madagascar, to prevent slaughter of endangered lemurs--the faery mission. Danger, joy, and romance abound as Lilith and Adam search for lemurs, battle nasty characters, and allow island moonlight and breezes to transport them to a world of passion.
