Dreams! Some say they can foretell the future, but in Gaia Jackson's case they reveal her past. With a strong link to her Native American ancestry, Gaia accepts them without question as part of who she is. Her job in Washington gives her great satisfaction as she works hard to protect the environment she loves.

Dr. Ned Harper isn't comfortable with his dreams.He's been plagued by hotly erotic sleeping journeys into a Native American world that astounds him. As does the beautiful woman he takes to the peak of passion every damn night. Only to find that at the ultimate moment of his dream — she turns into a heron.

When fate sends Gaia tumbling into Ned's arms, their dreams become much more than vague images in the darkness. But will politics prove an obstacle to passion? There's only one way to find out — go back to a time when the forests were untouched, when sounds in the sky came from the beating of wings and there were shadows cast on the land by a siege of herons.
