Andrew and Leigh are emotionally damaged body and soul. Both hate the fae for past betrayals.
Andrew survived near mortal injuries to his chest and leg that leave him in constant pain. He also feels worthless and unloveable due to his injuries and horrific scars. He blames the fae even though that is his ancestry.
In the 21st century Leigh, a fae healer, was held by rogue fae who drained her blood to keep themselves young. She denies her fae heritage. She is hiding in 13th century traveling to Dun Ard hoping to get help to save her adopted Scots family when she stumbles into cold fast moving water. Andrew has just stopped to set up camp when he sees her struggling. He swims to her and drags her to shore. He agrees to take her to Dun Ard his home. As he doesn't completely trust her he does not tell her it is his home.
The book tells of their attraction for each other along with the mistrust. The emerging story of beginning to trust and find hope and possibly love and permanence are beautifully written. Hope and acceptance of who and what they each are makes them stronger.
One of the best historical romances I have read in some time.
