Once upon a time he broke her heart—and maybe his own.

Is the Marquess of Worthington doomed like his ancestors? The notorious rogue doesn’t believe in the Worthington Curse. But he trusts his instincts, and they’re telling him the squire’s daughter he once befriended is in danger.

Clare Cummings believed in legends, fairy tale castles, and happy endings—until Worthington broke her heart. Now she doesn’t know what to believe. But if the man’s determined to rescue her, she might rescue him right back.

Can she save him from the history that haunts him, or will the curse destroy them both?
