Emmaline Gallagher is one of the few Fae free to roam the human world. Three hundred years ago, Emmaline, as the personal assassin for the Summer Queen, made a mistake and killed the wrong villain, thus destroying the man she loved. Emmaline was forced to leave her life behind just before the spell was cast imprisoning all Fae beings. Emmaline is now working undercover in the human world for the Fae enemy Phaendir, using her glamour skills to mask her real self to uncover the Phaendir's plans to keep the Fae trapped. Emmaline and her colleagues have located another artifact to help free the Fae, but it needs a magical key and there is only one man for the job.

Aeric O'Mallary, known as The Blacksmith, is unable to leave the world from which he is imprisoned. Aeric is the only Fae, other than his ailing father, with the ability to create weapons with magic. Three hundred years ago, Aeric was engaged to his childhood sweetheart, until the Summer Queen's assassin cut his love short by killing his fiancée. Aeric is biding his time for Emmaline Gallagher to enter the gates of his world so he can vent the anger and vengeance he's been holding for centuries. Aeric finally gets his opportunity, but something about Emmaline does strange things to his heart and mind, forcing him to listen to her reason of why, as a free Fae, she has returned to the one place where many want to see her dead.

CRUEL ENCHANTMENT is the second book in this series and it builds suspense with betrayal and love that matches no other. A fabulous read!

Book Summary

Even the most powerful hands need a delicate touch…

Emmaline Gallagher is a master of wielding personal glamour. As a free fae who lives among humans, she must hide her true self at all times as she works undercover within the powerful Phaendir—for if certain factions within the Phaendir gain control, the fae will be wiped from existence. Now, an object of fae power lies within a locked ancient box. And there is only one fae who can forge the key.

Known as “the Blacksmith” Aeric O’Malley can create or destroy almost anything with his forging skills. Emmaline has come to him in need, but he and Emmaline have a past—and he has spent centuries wanting to take revenge on her for her transgressions. But now that he has her within his grasp, something about her keeps him from exacting his vengeance—or is it merely her glamour blinding him?

Trapped by fate, Emmaline must hope that she can reach Aeric’s furious heart before it’s too late….
