My Thorns For Your Roses

A husband is a necessary inconvenience to escape Lark’s complicated home life, but when a faerie roots a rose in her flesh, people assume it’s from another man. Lark must convince the petty bastard to remove the blossom, but the forest is full of danger – and newfound desire.

As one of the few survivors of her generation, Lark wants to live a quiet, peaceful life. All she needs is a tolerable husband. On her 24th birthday, Lark offends the local faerie lord, the shapeshifter Tamlin, who punishes her with a rose rooted in her flesh.

When the whole village assumes the flower is a token from a mysterious suitor, rumors run amok, slashing her already slim chances of finding a man. In her efforts to convince Tamlin to undo his handiwork, Lark visits the forest daily and discovers the breathtaking and terrifying wonders of the realm and its master.

With the appearance of a handsome mortal huntsman in town, Lark assumes all her troubles are over. But this is just the beginning. Each of them has a secret which threatens to ruin all her plans.
