Inside she finds a stairway leading into darkness and cannot resist stepping onto that first stair. It leads her to dark truths her mother never wanted her to uncover and love so powerful she walks through time to save it. Her magic is dormant. When Aoife Burke rushes home after the unexpected death of her father, she discovers her mother has vanished amidst inexplicable circumstances. She returns to her childhood home to search for clues of her mother’s whereabouts but another shock awaits her. Sean O’Connell, the object of her girlhood crush, has purchased the family home. She senses Sean is hiding something from her, refuses to let her inside and does everything he can to keep her out. A determined Aoife breaks inside and stumbles upon an antique trunk in the attic. When she opens it, instead of the normal musty clothes and ancient letters, she finds a stairway leading into darkness. It calls to her and she cannot resist stepping into the trunk and onto that first stair where it leads her to magical truths her mother never wanted her to discover. His magic is dangerous. Sean O’Connell has been assigned by the Inter-dimensional Portal Protection Agency to keep Aoife and her mother out of Faery. But when she breaks into the house and disappears through the portal in the trunk—like her mother—he has no choice but to follow her, even though stepping into Faery will force him to face his past. Keeping her safe and out of the hands of the Wizard King also becomes a fight to save Aoife’s life from her own mother, who has discovered a time portal in Faery leading her back in time to alter her past mistakes, putting Aoife’s life in peril. Sean is willing to do anything to make sure she’s safe. Even if it means he has to tap into his dangerous magic to do it. less

Her magic is untouched. When Sunnie Burke rushes home after the unexpected death of her father, she is determined to find the truth. Instead she discovers her mother has disappeared and her father may not be dead after all. An old family friend, Caleb O’Brien, offers to help her solve the mystery but he is not what he seems. He evades her questions leading Sunnie to suspect he’s hiding something. Desperate to lose him, she returns to her childhood home and discovers a portal in an antique steamer trunk leading her to the mystical realm of Faery…and an enchanted staff that unleashes the untapped magic inside her. His magic is corrupt. Caleb O’Brien has watched Sunnie Burke grow into adulthood and make a name for herself in Hollywood. But when the beautiful starlet returns home determined to find the truth about her parents, he’s desperate to keep her from the portal leading into Faery. Sunnie’s untapped Fae magic surfaces with wildness she cannot control, and when her sudden sifting leads her right to the portal in the trunk, Caleb has no choice but to follow her. He quickly discovers he can’t protect her from the dark magic in the enchanted staff, no more than he can control his own dark magic swirling inside him forcing him to face his cryptic past. Now in the land of Fae, the two are at the mercy of a cruel sorceress whose malevolent machinations threaten the lives of the only people Sunnie ever truly loved—her family. The longer her dark magic consumes her, the more it puts all their lives in peril and the more Sunnie’s true self dissolves. An ancient prophecy holds the key—only one person can break the spell and release her. Caleb is determined to find that person…even if it means sacrificing everything Sunnie holds dear. less
