You have to wade through rows of cupcakes and potato chips to find the produce aisle, where those relationships grounded in intimacy and trust live - the ones worth your investment.

She resists at first, but recognizing how Andrew acts when I am present, she allows it. “Genevieve is fun, isn’t she?”

Through a twist of fate, caught in the act, Martha is dragged before the Court to receive punishment for breaking fae law.

I believe in one thing: If you want to live your dreams, you have to work for them. People have called me a control freak. Maybe, I am. When you come from a less-than-prestigious background, you have to give it your all if you want to belong with the best. In my mind, I’m just a girl who knows what she wants. At least, I thought I did. Until I met Alexander Fletcher. My boss. One of the richest men in Britain. When I found out I’d been accepted to work as his secretary at one of the biggest hedge fund firms in the UK, I thought I’d die.
