Fairy magic always comes at a cost.
Bridie Sparrow has a thorn in her heart, buried deep as her sorrow after the disappearance of her husbands. Once, she'd roamed wild and free with the men she'd loved. Now, her days are empty and joyless after being forced to return to her family's compound in Ireland.
Shunned and despised, she's desperate to escape. Then she meets a wealthy American businessman seeking a trad wife. He's odious, but time is running out. Her family is already turning her children against her.
Meanwhile, the thorn stabs at her nigh unto death. Her last resort is to seek a favor from her fairy ancestor, but will the price be more than she's willing to pay?
