Turns out, I'm the only human in my wing of the prison. And, I find out pretty quickly, the only female.Ah, crap.Thank goodness for Rys. He might not be the friendliest cellmate, but so long as I don't ask him questions about why he's locked up, he's willing to watch my back. Know what? That totally works for me, especially since I can't seem to keep my eyes off of his.I'm in jail. Falling for another prisoner should be the last thing on my mind. Then again, Rys is a Light Fae.
