Pete Morrow is a misanthropic FBI agent whose only escape from the colleagues and society he despises is through reading literary classics.

Tough-guy Morrow has never been in love before—but Jade is almost magical, an embodiment of myth and literature who creates living fantasies that rapidly become the only thing Morrow values in his otherwise miserable life.
