julesjonesI need to provide a tagline and blurb for the short story coming out in September, and this publisher doesn't do in-house editing of the blurb. So I could do with a second opinion on mine. I'd like comments from the romance fans in particular, because while this has a love story, it does not have a happy ending - I don't want something that will mislead romance fans into thinking they're getting an HEA or HFN.

One night of your life for seven years of love. But would you pay the price?
A modern man meets one of the sidhe and finds that legends are true, but the sidhe have changed. They have a new bargain to offer mortals who bring them fresh stories. There will be no coming forth from the green hillside to find that decades have gone by in the real world, the old friends and loves... old. But there is still a price to pay to have a fairy lover.
