Every bargain comes with a price. And half-Fae Aerinne Nyawira must pay for aid in blood and desire. Her first night moonlighting as an exotic dancer, half-Fae college freshman Nyawira accidentally beguiles the audience. Oops. Darkan is pissed. Panicked, she accepts the aid of a mysterious High Lord, who teaches her how to undo the damage—but everything has a price, and his is a night captive in his ocean palace. . .but she will not escape his labyrinth unscathed. This steamy Fae of Everenne novelette is approx. 70 pages and is available FREE to newsletter subscribers. (See bio for link.) Because Lady Aerinne is not of a mind to explain her world, this story is best enjoyed after Blood On His Lips.
