Rose Bargain: Sasha Peyton Smith

Vying for the hand of one prince. Falling for his brother. And every faerie bargain comes with a price.

London, 1848. For centuries, England has been ruled by an immortal fae queen who grants each subject one bargain for their deepest desire—but the cost can be devastating.

When Ivy Benton's family faces ruin, she enters a dangerous competition to win the hand of Prince Bram. Her unexpected ally? His rakish brother, Prince Emmett, who promises to help her win…for a price.

Between glittering balls, vicious trials, forbidden attraction, and deadly fae bargains, Ivy quickly realizes she's competing for far more than a crown.

Perfect for readers who love: Bridgerton, The Selection, The Cruel Prince, fae bargains, royal competitions, forbidden romance, Victorian settings, dangerous court politics, and morally complicated magic.
