All I ever wanted was a love as real and enduring as the one my parents shared. But the curse running through my bloodline has twisted that simple wish into a torment-forcing me to choose between the man who exists only in shadows and dreams, and the man who stands before me in the flesh. How am I supposed to tell truth from illusion when both of them hold my heart in their hands? And worse-how can I hope to break this curse for good when its grip has shifted onto the very man I long to spend my life with?
