Gavrael Mclllioch is a man like no other. Born to a clan of Berserkers, the legendary hunted warriors of supernatural strength and stamina, he dares not fall in love for fear of bringing danger to the woman who holds his heart. Taking the name Grimm to protect those he cares for, he allows no woman to breach his defenses -- no woman save Jillian of Ishtar, a blonde beauty of goodness and grace, the daughter of his foster-family. Though distance separates them for many years while Grimm serves first in King James' court, then with Sidheach Douglas at Dalkeith by the Sea, a missive stating only "Come for Jillian" leads Grimm back to his childhood home, to the love he is determined never to acknowledge, and to the hidden dangers that face both him and Jillian as they learn that as dangerous as love can be, it could be the only thing that can save them.
