With nothing left but loneliness, Ivy makes a desperate gamble and empties her savings to bring home a beautiful incubus from the black market. She wants love, she wants change—but all she finds is his cold refusal and the sting of rejection. Then she learns he is sneaking out at great risk to visit her abandoned twin brother, and everything she thought she knew begins to break apart. In a world where beastfolk are traded like property, even the harshest choices can turn into a love story.
