Adira, Queen of the evil blood drinking, vampire Fae has kidnapped Destiny's sister as her fountain of youth. Destiny enlists the aid of Fae Highlander, Jesse to search for and rescue her sister. The instant attraction between them is intense and Jesse's protective instincts kick in and "need" Destiny to be safe. However, Destiny wants to be there when her sister is rescued and won't let Jesse leave her behind.

I particularly liked Destiny's devotion to her sister. She refused to give up when everyone called Leah a runaway. Destiny's mother was always talking about faeries but Destiny never believed her mother's drunken ramblings so all these Fae revelations are shocking. Destiny catches on quick though and uses her half-Fae side to her advantage.

Jesse may be a Scot but there are very few Highlander elements to this story. The evil Faerie Folk dominate the story, not the Highlanders or the time travel elements. This is much darker than the previous books in the series but a necessary installment on the way to Leah's story.
