The Tricky Business of Faerie Bargains

When Poppy Hill was a child she was stolen from her family’s Montana homestead and taken ‘Otherside’ to the land of the fae, where she spent more than a century as a cook in the Wild King’s castle. Now back in the human world, she works for a company that brokers fairy bargains, looking for loopholes in their contracts.

 

But when a bargain that Poppy is negotiating goes disastrously wrong she has to return to the world she grew up in to try to rectify her mistake, facing danger, intrigue and a pesky ex-boyfriend along the way.
