The Lords of Satyr have a unique birthright. To say that Lord Nicholas Satyr, one of three brothers and heir to a stunning Tuscan vineyard, is a gentleman unlike any other would be a gross understatement. Half-human, half-satyr, he is an aristocrat of passionate excess, especially on a Calling night, and revels in the debauched pleasures of his otherworldly legacy, where nothing is forbidden. His talents and tastes are varied, in fact, but Nicholas has agreed to seek out and marry a FaerieBlend female, one unaware of her otherworldly birthright, to honor the king of ElseWorld's dying request--who, it has been revealed, fathered three half-faerie daughters. Nicholas's search takes him to Rome, then to a city just outside of it, where pretty Jane Cova, guised as a fortune-telling gypsy, captures his interest and his desire. Although he doesn't expect his marriage to Signorina Cova to be about passion, Nicholas is strangely struck by her innocence and unconscious beauty. To his surprise, he would like to teach Jane how to give and receive pleasure--when he had thought he would simply want a proper wife--but Jane is determined to keep her secrets safe and her desires in check.
