Villains are not born. They’re made.

Melisandra was never meant for polite society. As the fatherless daughter of a witch, she has learned to beg, borrow, and steal her way toward respectability—because no one hands girls like her a future.

So the prince chose another girl. Fine. Mellie never planned on letting anyone into her frozen heart anyway.

At seventeen, she has a far simpler dream: escape Borough village and save enough coin to open her own beauty shop. How hard can it be to find a decent apothecary who needs an apprentice?

Tamerlin knows better than most how words spoken in anger can become an unbreakable curse. Traveling the neighboring lands incognito, he is searching for the one girl who might help him break his own. When he catches sight of a sharp-eyed vixen in a tavern—sweet as candy, spying on patronsand stealing food —he can’t take his eyes off her. But what if the girl of his dreams isn’t the innocent she pretends to be?

Some choices shape monsters.

Expose or extort?

Forgive or avenge?

Seduce… or steal?

Because survival always demands a price.

What would you do to make sure you never went hungry again?

And how could a mysterious magical box possibly help anyone win a heart?

Your Heart to Seek is the first book in the Cursed Hearts trilogy, a dark mixed generation (YA/NA) fantasy tale of curses, betrayal, and the fragile line between villainy and survival.
