Synopsis
She just wanted a quick payday. Instead, she’s framed for murder, marked by a deadly ring… and abducted by a six-foot-six lying healer whose eyes glow in the dark. Harlan Madson doesn’t need complications. After clawing her way out of a life of crime, she grabs one last lucrative gig from her sketchy ex—and walks straight into a setup. The job ends with her ex dead, the murder weapon in her hands, and a poison searing through her veins. Enter Waldemar Forndaur: aggravatingly hot, suspiciously powerful, and who can’t touch her without setting off a death curse. He saves her life, then ruins it with a single truth—she wore the ring. And now the hunters are coming. Chased by ruthless reality-warping monsters and haunted by secrets, Harlan and Wald must survive long enough to clear her name, reverse the curse, and maybe, finally, figure out what the hell is going on between them. Because rewriting time doesn’t just change the future. It rewrites who you are. And some kisses really are to die for. Dark, romantic, and twisted with shadow-soaked magic, Too Cursed to Kiss is a genre-bending urban fantasy romance packed with wicked humor, scorching chemistry, and a heroine who claws her way to power one mistake at a time. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Karen Marie Moning, J.R. Ward, and the kind of stories that bite when you kiss them.
