Shadow Spell - Nora Roberts

Falconer Connor O'Dwyer is proud to call County Mayo home.  It's where his sister, Branna, lives and works; where his cousin, Iona, has found true love; and where his childhood friends form a circle that can't be broken.  But that lifelong bond is about to be changed forever by a long-awaited kiss. . . Meara Quinn is Branna's best friend, a sister in all but blood.  Her and Connor's paths cross almost daily.  She has eyes like a storm and the body of a goddess. . .things Connor has always taken for granted-until his brush with death propels them into a quick, hot tangle. Plenty of women have found their way to Connor's bed, though none to his heart until now.  Frustratingly, Meara is okay with just the heat, afraid to lose herself-and their friendship.  But soon, Connor will see the full force and fury of what runs in his blood as his past rolls in like the fog, threatening in end to all he loves. . . .
