"A dark stranger is your enemy." Crystal scientist Gina Petrillo scoffs at the fortuneteller's words, until a seemingly harmless gem launches her into a world where crystals are magic. She soon finds herself imprisoned by a powerful rogue wizard. Gina's captor is convinced she is a sorceress from beyond the web, but in Derrin's land a woman's power is considered unstable and dangerous. He believes Gina was summoned by a prominent member of the Wizards' Council-a corrupt mage who seeks to use Gina's knowledge of crystals as a bridge to endless power. Gina's presence in Derrin's world is an aberration, one that is rapidly unbalancing the life essence of the land. He vows to open a path to her world and seal the rift behind her. If his efforts fail, he will have no choice but to kill her. Derrin's effort to free Gina from a spell cast by his rival creates an erotic mind link usually reserved for bonded lovers. The link is overwhelming, frightening and uncontrollable, but Gina and Derrin have little choice but to accept it. Their hearts and bodies meld passionately as destruction sweeps over the land and their enemy draws ever closer. Time is running out.

Joy Nash is a USA Today Bestselling Author and RITA Award Finalist applauded by Booklist for her "tart wit, superbly crafted characters, and sexy, magic-steeped plots." Joy, best known for the Druids of Avalon and Immortals series, writes romantic fiction in historical, contemporary, and alternate-reality settings. Her newest series is the apocalyptic fantasy The Nephilim: Demons Among Us. Joy once read a book about a girl living on the moon and thought it was real, until her big sister messed everything up with the truth. Ever since, Joy's been of the opinion that fiction is way more interesting than reality. She credits her love of tortured heroes to the Brontë sisters, her fascination with magical adventure to J.R.R. Tolkien, and her weakness for snarky humor to Douglas Adams.
