He choked on a mouthful of ocean that forced its way down his throat. His fury knew
no bounds. Another wave pushed him under again, holding him below for what seemed
like hours. He couldn t breathe, couldn t find the surface. Could feel nothing as the cold
set in.
Fuck.
A deathly pale hand reached down for him to grab; Banshee was determined to do
her job. He hesitated, torn between coming to terms with his situation, and the need to see
his beloved Meara one last time.

Banshee had no such reservations. She curled her fingers in a death grip around his
and hauled him from the water. Not one word, she whispered in his ear as she carried
him the last of the way and dumped him on the shore. He could have sworn he actually
saw her smile as she vanished like a wisp of smoke.
He laughed in celebration as the fairies swooped to surround him. He didn t care that
they poked fingers up his nose or yanked out fistfuls of his hair. He was alive. Period.
Jamison Murphy, he heard Meara call as she raced to meet him on the shore. I
swear, if you ever scare me like this again, I ll kill you myself and spare Banshee the
trouble.
Her face was as beautiful as he remembered, even with mascara dripping down her
cheeks and her skin turning blue from the cold. Maybe Nevada wouldn t be such a bad
place to live, he answered, letting his eyes snap shut.
I ve changed my mind, he heard her say as he passed out in her arms.
What in the world? Jamison stared in fascination at the bits of cloth, string and
plastic Meara had strung across the yard. Wind-chimes and pieces of colored glass hung
from every tree and bush, spinning and tinkling in the breeze blown from the sea.
Fairies swarmed among the chaos, flitting from one new toy to the next like children
the day after Christmas.
Meara smiled wickedly. That should keep them occupied for quite some time.
When they get tired of those she pointed to a huge stack of boxes sitting in the
kitchen, I have plenty more to tempt them with.
Jamison grinned and pulled her tight against him. Do you have something tucked
away that you could use to tempt me? He rubbed his morning stubble against her neck,
causing her to shriek delightedly. He had just gotten her back into bed when they heard
the baby laughing.
Your turn, Meara said, snuggling under the covers. Bring her in& she might go
back to sleep.
Fat chance, he muttered, pushing open the nursery door. Their new daughter,
Brianna, lay staring out the window, babbling excitedly at the fairy preening itself on the
outside of the glass.

Your mother is not going to like this, Jamison said, picking her up and holding her
close. So, let s not tell her for a while, hmmm? A long, long while.

Samhain is pleased to celebrate its second anniversary with three novellas that will lure you
into the labyrinth of Celtic myth and legend.

dangerous turn when their sexual chemistry awakens the deadly lust of an ancient goddess.
Gia Dawn's offering of A Fairy Special Gift has it all: A woman who can see fairies and
wishes she couldn't, and a man who promises to help her with her "problem" for the price of a
kiss. Stir in the Celtic god Lugh who wants the woman for himself, rowdy flock of untamed
