In a town where every third person claims psychic powers, Caitlin Ross is a rarity: a genuine Witch. Though she hides her abilities from all but a few, Caitlin's magic goes hand in hand with a compassionate heart, and she can seldom resist a plea for help. When a friend requests her aid banishing a Shadow Creature raised in an ill-advised spell, Caitlin promises to do whatever she can. And she means to keep her promise no matter the personal cost, even after her friend runs off, leaving Caitlin holding the bag. Born in Scotland, Timber MacDuff grew up in America, where he apprenticed with a Native healer. Now ready to strike out on his own, he must complete a final test: locate a shaman on a dark path and remedy his horrific mistake. Timber's quest leads him straight to Caitlin's front door, and after a disastrous first meeting, they realize their goals are the same. Their best chance of success lies in working together. With the Shadow Creature endangering innocents, neither Caitlin nor Timber has any intention of addressing their growing attraction. But Fate joined them for a reason. For a soul's salvation, two stubborn spirits must surrender to love, changing their futures for eternity.
