**DON'T MISS TESSONJA ODETTE'S BRAND-NEW DARK ROMANTASY, THE LIES THAT SUMMON THE NIGHT, AVAILABLE NOW**
Two rival writers.
One prestigious publishing contract.
A bargain of hearts and desire.
They say never bargain with the fae. They also say don't get drunk on fae wine. Yet romance author Edwina Danforth has managed a blunder with both on her first visit to the infamous faelands. Now she's trapped in a magic-fuelled bet she barely remembers with a man she'd be happier to forget. The terms? Whoever can bed the most lovers during their month-long duelling book tour wins a coveted publishing contract.
The win should be easy for Edwina. She's known for penning scintillating tales of whirlwind romance. There's just one problem: her imagination vastly exceeds her bedroom experience. But when failure means plummeting her career back into obscurity, losing isn't an option.
Her handsome fae rival, William Haywood, poses an even greater challenge. Not only are his looks as aggravatingly perfect as his track record behind closed doors, but he has his own reasons for playing to win, and he won't go down without a fight. Unless, of course, it's a different kind of going down. In that case, he's fair game.
Edwina and William clash in a rivalry of romance. But what happens when their objects of desire...turn out to be each other?
