Siobhan Bruis knows what hunger is.

 

She’s had to fight every day for everything she has, and it’s never been enough. But when a story and a whim leads her to the fae world, she meets Finlay: a strange, handsome faerie with a penchant for mischief. When he offers to help her steal riches from his fellow faeries, what he’s really offering her is the chance to never be hungry again—at least, until she finds herself less preoccupied with food and more preoccupied with wanting Finlay.

 

Finlay of the Flowers has never been hungry a day in his life.

 

But he has been bored. With Siobhan, he sees an opportunity to have a bit of harmless fun, stealing from the faeries who outcast him. It’s not supposed to be serious—at least, not for him. But the more time he spends with this human, the more fascinated he becomes. And maybe he wouldn’t mind, so much, for her to turn that greedy gaze on him.
