Part of Filthy Rich Fae
First published 2024
Cate Holloway lives by New Orleans' cardinal rule: stay away from the Gage crime family. But when her brother becomes entangled in their dangerous world, she breaks that rule. She confronts Lachlan Gage himself, prepared to beg for her brother's freedom. Lachlan agrees to spare her brother, but his price shocks her. He wants her soul. Lachlan reveals he is fae, not merely a criminal overlord. He binds Cate to him through an ancient bargain that tears her from the human world. She finds herself trapped in the Otherworld, surrounded by fae courts that scheme against her. Each day brings new dangers as court members plot her downfall. Lachlan's true motives remain hidden, adding another layer of uncertainty to her captivity. Cate has thirty days to break the bargain or remain bound to the beautiful but deadly fae prince forever. She must navigate the treacherous politics of the fae courts while fighting her growing attraction to her captor.
