Dreams are the perfect shelter for fantasies, safe havens to step inside
without changing our daily lives. For Lark Braithwaite, all that is
about to change. During the last six months, Lark has dreamt of a
mysterious Irish lover who knows what she wants and gives her exactly
what she needs. In her waking life in busy London, things aren't as
ideal as her long-term relationship with her controlling fiancé
Charles has hit a dry spell.

about to change. During the last six months, Lark has dreamt of a
mysterious Irish lover who knows what she wants and gives her exactly
what she needs. In her waking life in busy London, things aren't as
ideal as her long-term relationship with her controlling fiancé
Charles has hit a dry spell.
When Lark is called home to Oregon for her father's funeral, she comes
face to face with the demons from her past, but she never expects to
meet her dream lover in the flesh. Niall O'Hagan steps straight out
of her fantasies and into her life, and the powerful connection they
share rocks her foundation. Although she's dealing with the
bitterness of her fiancé's betrayal and his jealousy, Niall soon
stirs Lark's awareness of her superficial existence and reawakens her
sexuality....and her soul.

Her fantasy lover is real…
“Why are you
wearing a suit and tie this time?” She squinted against the sunlight. Please,
God, let this be a dream. He moved his head and put her in shade.
“This time?” He lifted an eyebrow, perplexed. “You’ll have to
forgive me, lass, but I’ve no idea what the devil you’re talking about.” He
maneuvered himself off her and sat upright at the end of the swing.
She tucked her feet against
her, sat up, and blinked at him in utter disbelief.
“I came to
knock on the door when I saw you on the swing. You tossed and turned, and with
the way you grunted, I assumed you were in the middle of some sort of a
seizure.”
He turned his head and licked
his lips, full and abused by her kisses. A mushroom cloud of mortification
bloomed inside her, steadily bigger by the minute.
“Erm,
you…begged me to kiss you, and then you yanked me down. One thing led to
another and, well, that was pretty much the way of it. I am only
human, though I know it’s no excuse.” He swallowed and stared at her, his
Adam’s apple moving in his throat. “I apologize. I shouldn’t have gone down
when you pulled me, but it was strange—like you knew me
or something.”
Lark leaned forward and rubbed
her eyes. This couldn’t be real. He had to be a hallucination. When she opened
her eyes, she’d see a man in his fifties with a receding hairline, glasses, and
a beer gut. She reopened her eyes, and there he was: The full package.
