How it starts

On the worst birthday of her life, Ava returns home to discover her boyfriend in bed with another woman. Within hours, she's drunk, homeless, and vowing to stay single forever. That's when the dangerously sexy Seelie King, Torin, arrives in town, searching for fae like her. Every generation, the king holds a competition to choose his queen. However, Torin seeks a charade, not a real marriage. When Ava drunkenly insults him, she captures his attention. Torin offers her fifty million to participate, and she thinks, "What have I got to lose?" The answer turns out to be her life, as her competitors are willing to kill for the crown. As Ava spends more time with the seductive king, it becomes harder to remember that it's all supposed to be fake. Now, her life—and her heart—are on the line.
