On Valentine's Day, florist Ivy Lane delivers a hush-hush order of red roses to a remote estate and walks into something unreal. Fog presses close, cold iron clangs behind her, and the path vanishes under her shoes. She's crossed into the Thorn Court, a perilous Fae realm where roses weep red and glamour masks lethal truths.
High Lord Thorne Silverthorn claims her on sight. Long ago, Ivy's ancestor cut a forbidden deal with him, trading the bloodline's firstborn daughter for power. The bill has finally arrived. Ivy is named as the bride who seals it. Inside a palace of living thorns and shifting illusions, she has three days to agree or let the bargain take a life, hers or his.
Thorne is everything she should dread: controlled, merciless, striking in a way that chills. His silver eyes hold histories older than empires. Yet there's a quiet ache beneath the frost that echoes her own. Glances linger. A brush of skin lands like heat. Neither of them looks away. Meanwhile, court rivals stalk the corridors, and Ivy learns the bargain hides a steeper cost than blood.
Armed with her nerve and her knowledge of flowers their scents, their poisons she weighs her options. Resist the claim and shatter them both, or step closer to the High Lord who cages her and draws her in all the same.
Some roses don't just cut. They change everything.
