A Love Lost. A Cursed Touch. An Arranged Marriage.

Genevieve Ashcroft can never marry for true love. Not as the Crown Princess of Naseria. Not with the blueblood’s magical gift. Not when her gift is actually a curse that makes any man fall in love after a single caress. And certainly not after Kieran Greenbluff abandoned her, only to die in mysterious circumstances. 

Two years before her coronation, at twenty-eight, Genevieve makes the practical decision to enter a marriage of alliance. Prince Leland Frostclaw of Icelantica is everything she needs in a Consort– steadfast, diplomatic, and a powerful blueblood. 

Until Mr. Morris Blackwell, a self-made redblood railway magnate arrives ready to expand his enterprise into Naseria. It only takes one touch, one dance for Genevieve to know Kieran isn’t dead, he’s holding her in his arms.

When Kieran vows to ruin Genevieve, and instances of a mysterious rot begin spreading throughout the kingdom, Genevieve must resist the temptations of her treacherous heart and stay true to her duty. 

But her cursed heart still belongs to Kieran, and it just may betray her all over again.
