After losing three fiancés in tragic accidents over the past six years, Lady Elphi Matson knows three things for certain: heartache only maims its victim when it should kill, not all haunted places are crumbling castles, and without a doubt, she is cursed when it comes to falling in love. Able to see ghosts since surviving a drowning accident at age nine, Lord Rufus Treadway works as a Private Investigator of the paranormal. So, when his closest friend Lord Roderick Matson pleads for help solving Elphi's curse, Rufus agrees to attend the Sanham séance, promising not to let Elphi know Roderick hired him and, for his own safety, not to fall in love with her. However, just like curses, some promises are meant to be broken.

Born to a crown she never wanted. Bound to a legacy she refuses to obey. As the king's illegitimate daughter, her bloodline is his curse - one forged in secrets, violence, and hidden bones. Princess Valerie Aurum Kryon Bonesses has spent her life in the shadow of a heartbroken king who would rather see her perfect and buried than just and crowned. But when Valerie is thrust into a war for a throne built on cruelty, she discovers that some legacies are not inherited... they are conquered. As she uncovers the horrors her family hides behind gilded walls, she vows to expose every secret - even if it means tearing her kingdom apart. Her rebellion will shatter a dynasty. Her mercy will forge a new kingdom. In a realm where heirs are broken to prove their worth, Valerie must decide: become the monster her family made... or destroy the crown that created them. The bones of the royal family are cracking - and a new queen will rise from the ruins.
