I ett historiskt England utspelar sig kampen mellan ornitologer som tar sin hobby på största allvar. För att bli årets ornitolog behöver man fånga den magiska, utrotningshotade fågeln Caldrius. För att vinna tävlingen är Beth till och med villig att gå så långt att hon slår sig ihop med Devon, hennes rival. För Devons del blir det en chans att visa för Beth att han är intresserad av mer än en professionell relation med henne.
Rival ornithologists hunt through England for a rare magical bird
Beth Pickering is on the verge of finally capturing the rare deathwhistler bird when Professor Devon Lockley swoops in, capturing both her bird and her imagination like a villain. Albeit a handsome and charming villain, but that's beside the point. As someone highly educated in the ruthless discipline of ornithology, Beth knows trouble when she sees it, and she is determined to keep her distance from Devon.
For his part, Devon has never been more smitten than when he first set eyes on Professor Beth Pickering. She's so pretty, so polite, so capable of bringing down a fiery, deadly bird using only her wits. In other words, an angel. Devon understands he must not get close to her, however, since they're professional rivals.
When a competition to become Birder of the Year by capturing an endangered caladrius bird is announced, Beth and Devon are forced to team up to have any chance of winning. Now keeping their distance becomes a question of one bed or two. But they must take the risk, because fowl play is afoot, and they can't trust anyone else—for all may be fair in love and war, but this is ornithology.
