…………..
Every citizen of England is granted one bargain from their immortal fae queen. High society girls are expected to bargain for qualities that will win them suitors: a rare talent for piano in exchange for one’s happiest childhood memory. A perfect smile for one’s ability to taste.
But Ivy Benton’s debut season arrives with a shocking twist: a competition to secure the heart of the Queen’s fae son, Prince Bram. A prize that could save Ivy’s family from ruin… and free her sister from the bargain that destroyed her.
Yet every glittering fae deal has a rotting heart, and at the centre of this contest is a dark plot that could destroy everything.
Sweepingly romantic and deceptively enchanting, this alternate history romantasy will enthrall readers of Lauren Roberts, Stephanie Garber, and Sarah J Maas.

Rose Bargain
By Sasha Peyton Smith
Review by Angel
The Rose Bargain delivers a dazzling Bridgerton-meets-fae fantasy, set in an alternate high-society England ruled by an immortal fae queen. In this intoxicating blend of romance, deception, and dark magic, Ivy Benton’s debut season is more than just a search for a suitor, it’s a fight for survival. With her family’s fate hanging in the balance, winning the heart of Prince Bram seems like her only chance. But in a world where fae bargains demand steep sacrifices and courtly charm masks ruthless ambition, Ivy quickly learns that power is the most dangerous currency of all. Romance unfolds amidst cutthroat competition, political intrigue, and secrets that could upend the fae queen’s carefully controlled world. The Rose Bargain is a must-read for romantasy fans craving a deliciously sinister twist on Regency glamour.
