Paul Apollyon sees flashes of the future, yet he can't predict Alastair Gow bursting into his public house and desperately asking for a place to hide. Alastair wants to use the cellar, to be precise: a totally normal request from a man who looks like a dashing pirate out of a storybook. But perhaps there isn't anything to say to a charming stranger asking to hide in your cellar but yes-and with that, Paul is drawn into sweet intrigue. Alastair is helping a local girl run away from an arranged marriage and he's clearly got his own secrets. Despite Paul's powers-and the definite attraction between him and Alastair-there's really no knowing exactly what will happen. Still, he's willing to take some chances, especially when his heart says they matter.
