Leslie Faulkner’s life takes a turn for the weird when she steals a discarded book from her librarian boss and takes it home. Things heat up when the book brings her luscious dreams of seductive tendrils. Her waking hours are no less dramatic when she meets a young man at the college who comes to her rescue, a book is found missing from the Forbidden Collection, and she finds someone sneaking around the library bookshelves after dark.

Her dull life of books and papers is about to get a lot more complicated, but through it all she still has her nights and her dreams to comfort her.
