FayeLynn Roberts didn’t intend to get pregnant. Instead of following her dreams and going to art school in the fall, she’ll be stuck in her hometown and under her dad’s roof. It isn’t like her baby’s father is going to be any help. He disappeared weeks before the two pink lines showed up on the stick. When she tells her father about the child, he drops a bombshell. Her late mother was a fairy. And that’s not all. When her father married her mother, he made a promise to her people: the first male child born to his line would belong to them. While the revelation explains a lot, it also opens the door to dozens of new questions. Suddenly, FayeLynn is becoming more and more protective of the child growing in her stomach. There’s no way she’s giving the baby to a bunch of fairies, even if they are related to her. On a quest to find out more about her mother’s side of the family tree, she meets Alvin Foster, a man who claims to know how to access the fairy realm. He might be crazy, but she needs answers and it isn’t hard to follow a man who fills out a pair of Levi’s like he does. Alvin has his own agenda. A prince who was tossed from the fairy realm after a stupid decision, he’s determined to find his way home. Offering a male child to the King might be the ticket back to his family. He convinces FayeLynn to trust him and she follows him across hell and half of The Realm. Literally. She’s not the wilting violet he expected and before he can help himself, he’s falling for her. When they arrive in the Fairy Realm, things aren’t as Alvin remembered. In the time he’s been gone, his father has weakened and Drake, an evil upstart with a score to settle, intends to take his place. Drake has been busy in both The Realm and the human world. He’s the father of FayeLynn’s baby and he wants custody.In order to save the baby and The Realm, Alvin and FayeLynn must band together and battle Drake and his forces all while fighting their growing attraction to each other. Even though Alvin wants to make her his Fairy Queen, FayeLynn is determined to leave Fairy Land with her baby but can she leave with her heart?
