When Laurelle is forced to marry a cruel prince in order to elevate her family''s social position, she knows her dreams of a loving marriage are best forgotten. However, one act of kindness sends her running from her royal envoy and tumbling head-first into the faerie realm. There, she is greeted by the monstrous-looking faerie king, Emrys, who claims she is his prisoner and he will be seeing to her punishment.

She should fear him. Yet, when the opportunity to flee comes, why does she hesitate to take it?

Is it because Emrys, despite the claws and sharp teeth, treats her like a prized jewel? Treats her with more kindness than even her own family. He tends to her every whim and wish and demands only one thing from her: to shed the shame she feels over her desires and be free. The king tells her that whatever she dreams, he shall make it so. Is this opportunity too good to be true? Can she trust what her heart is telling her about this faerie king? Or is she better off forsaking the untold pleasure he''s offering and returning to the human world?

Irys Evergrove only wanted one thing: to avoid marriage to the lecherous duke that has desired her long before she came of age. Those in her village speak of a demon that lives in The Woods, a magical land that very few humans dare to enter. Her desperation sends her into the heart of the forest until she comes face to face with a creature pulled straight from her nightmares.

So why does he excite her in a way no mortal man ever has?

Begging him to save her from her marriage he agrees but refuses the meager amount of coins she offers him. What this demon desires from her is one pleasure-filled night with her in his cottage. This demon unlocks something inside of Irys she has long since buried. When the sun rises in the morning will she truly be able to start her new life with the freedom she bargained for? Or will she realize that the passion she found between her and the demon of The Woods is not something so easily found again?
