Never make a bargain with one of the Fae. It's a rule everyone knows… and yet it's one Alice's family seems to ignore.
After her brother loses their entire family fortune in a wager he cannot afford, Alice ventures into the Rose Briar Woods to make a deal with the formidable Fae marquis who now owns her family's estate—a portrait in exchange for her brother's freedom.
But instead of Lord Ambrose, the young artist meets a mysterious masked man who saves her when her carriage is attacked by goblins. Even though he warns her to leave the woods, Alice finds herself working in the marquis's manor.
Right away, Alice realizes Lord Ambrose is not what she expects. He's kind when the Fae are supposed to be cold, and he's generous even though he wants to be rid of her. And more, he's hiding a painful past—one that seems to have something to do with Alice herself.
Soon, Alice is torn between the handsome marquis and the dashing masked bandit who continues to visit her in the evenings, but her heart tells her something is amiss. Because it seems very likely the two men Alice is taken with just might be the same man…
