When Iri swore her life to the royal family, she never expected to be sold to an Unseelie warlord as part of a secret bargain. Sacrificed to his cruel touch, she's in a perfect position to spy on the plans of the tyrant - even if it won't buy back her freedom to return to the light court of the fae. She's resolved to honor her vows, until a handsome face from her past shows up to make her question everything.
Adrian left behind his life in that court years ago, and he's sure he'll never see the girl who broke his heart again. When a late-night delivery job puts him face to face with Iri chained to a fae warlord, it drags him right back into old feelings and tangled politics.
As a changeling unwelcome in any court, Adrian’s the last guy anyone would expect to play the hero, and Iri is the last person he thought he’d want to save. Besting her dark captor will involve intertwining their fates with the insidious Night Market, where no court rules and everything has a price. With time running out for Iri, every choice is a gamble, and they must learn to trust one another again to survive.
Cursed Rescue is an Urban Fantasy novella with a kickass heroine, an unlikely hero, the dark side of faerie politics and a second chance forbidden romance full of longing glances. It occurs prior to the events in The Fae of Dark Hollow: Book 1.
