Kadence Cooper usually spends her weekends reading a book with her dog Hagrid by her side. But when the troubled Rhys Kinkaid moves next door, she finds herself immediately drawn to him, almost as if her attraction is beyond her control. When weird things start happening and a nightmare creature comes calling, Kadence worries she’s losing her grip on reality. The closer Kadence gets to Rhys the clearer it becomes that he’s hiding something. Whatever it is, he’s obviously afraid talking about it will get him another trip to the mental institution. When Kadence is attacked by the cloaked, skeletal creature again, Rhys shows up to save her. He explains the banshee’s been haunting him for years, angry at him for stealing souls she claims are hers. Now they’ll have to work together to break an ancient Scottish curse before it claims them both.
