The Fae’s Treasure

Dairmuid

I never meant to anger Saz, a succubus with a penchant for fae souls. After a few months of scorching hot encounters that threatened to melt the wings right off my back, it seemed love was in the air. Then, Saz made a demand—give her my soul, or she’d never reveal the location of the faeling she’s birthed and hidden in the mortal world. It’s clear now that Saz doesn’t truly love me, or she’d never threaten me like this. My son—a son she hid from me—is trapped, alone, and defenseless. Now, I have to race through the mortal world to find my child before Saz’s peak of power hits, or my baby will be doomed to remain a changeling forever.

Deanna

The baby I found on my back porch is not quite… normal. I thought at first maybe it was just me, but… No, it’s definitely Rory. He sports tiny wings when the light is just right, and those red irises are a dead giveaway. I know the right thing to do would be to turn him over to the foster care system, but right for who? How can I trust that someone special like Rory would be safe in a system that sometimes fails even “normal” kids? It’s a good thing I just moved to Pine Ridge. Nobody knows me here, so I can pass the baby off as my own.

Deals

A human woman is raising my son, and thanks to Saz’s blood curses binding him to the mortal realm, I can’t simply steal him away. When pure power is thwarted, it’s time to revert to the old ways: beguile Deanna into a bargain that will free my boy and protect him from his mother’s unholy wrath. But the more I watch her, the more I see her lavish her own simple, sweet sort of magic on a stranger’s child, the stronger my desire grows to offer her a different bargain. My soul, in exchange for hers.

Would a human unknowingly raising a fae changeling be content to raise a fae lord’s secret baby… if he were her soulmate?
