Reynner serves a vengeful goddess who has bound him to immortal service. His realm faces destruction unless he recovers a crucial artifact. The goddess tells him that Eve Leighton, a mortal woman, holds the key to finding it. Reynner approaches Eve with his demand for help, but she possesses an unwanted gift. A teenage accident gave her the ability to read minds through touch. She avoids physical contact to escape the pain of seeing into others' thoughts. When Eve touches Reynner, she glimpses a soul scarred by betrayal. She agrees to help him find the artifact, and their partnership awakens feelings neither expected. Reynner has learned to distrust everyone, especially women. Eve breaks through his defenses as passion grows between them. Enemies hunt for the same artifact, forcing Reynner into battles that test his warrior skills. He must choose between the safety of emotional distance and fighting for Eve. She faces her own choice between the security of her isolated life and risking everything for love with an immortal man.
