Is widowed fantasy writer, Korrene Greenwood, going insane? She thinks so when the man of her dreams, the sexy hero of her current novel, appears and starts talking to her. The fact that he is also a five-foot, eleven-inch, green-eyed, blond-haired, magic-wielding elven package of sensual masculinity contributes to her conviction that a visit to a therapist is in order, and drastic measures are called for. Bent on saving her sanity, she attempts to destroy the manuscript and all traces of her book.

But her hero, Rendolin, is determined to put a stop to that! He carries her off to his home where together they must work to save the race of Sea Elves from genocide, and prevent a jealous god from eradicating all magical beings from their worlds.
