When sea witch Aine Driscoll and her sister arrive in Calatini from their magical home kingdom, they're astounded by Calatini's beauty—and by the handsome Hawke brothers. It's love at first sight. Or it would be if Xavier would quit glaring at Aine.
Xavier Hawke despises and distrusts magic thanks to his father's obsession with it. He fiercely suppresses his own magical powers, yet that makes being near powerful magic like Aine's mermaid pearl excruciating. It's why he can't help glaring at the most tempting lady he's ever met.
While helping their siblings find love, Aine discovers Xavier's secret, and they fall in love despite their differences. But then, Aine's mermaid pearl is stolen, transforming her into a mermaid.
To find a cure, Aine and Xavier must journey to consult the merfolk ruler who gave her the powerful faegift. Yet such a quest requires Xavier to trust what he's feared his entire life... magic.
