Enter a world of darkness and desire, where even true love comes at a deadly price.
In the twisted world of the Unseelie fae, dreams are currency and wishes are power. Izael, the serpentine Duke of Bones, a fae lord with a fierce reputation, finds himself desperate for freedom. And to get it, he only needs one simple thing—a deal with a human. When he sets his sights on Alex, a destitute witch down on her luck, he sees a chance to gain everything he's ever wanted.
Alex wasn’t expecting to lose her job. It was the last thing keeping her afloat. And now with no money in her account, and homelessness looming, she casts a spell and asks for help from anyone willing to listen.
She should have been more specific.
Now she has a handsome Unseelie fae begging to grant her deepest wish. As far as Alex is concerned, she doesn’t have one. She knows better than to trust him, but he convinces her to take a wager—for seven days and seven nights, they will split their time between Earth and Tir n'Aill. If she truly does not have a wish after those seven days, he'll make sure she never goes poor again and will leave her alone. If she loses, her wish is his to grant...and her soul is his to take.
As Izael and Alex dance around each other, the stakes grow higher and higher. Will Izael succeed in his quest to make Alex his own, or will she prove to be his downfall?
He hoped she was dreaming of him. He hoped she was having nightmares of him. He would lay the whole world at her feet. She would be a spoiled duchess, wearing the finest of clothes—mainly so he could tear them off her—and be fed the most perfect of treats. She would have servants to wait on her hand and foot. He would lavish her with gifts. With praise. With pleasure.
With terror.
Because Alex belonged to him. And she would come to understand it. And she would embrace him with open arms in the end. Or else her end would be of a very different kind.
She did look so tasty, after all…
