"It was peaceful for a short while, as the sky turned liquid and my lips turned blue. Even the burning in my lungs was better than the ache in my heart." Bound by a lie, held by a promise. During the Reconstruction Era in New York (1877), Catherine Blackfell's world begins to unravel, forcing her into a dangerous engagement she never wanted. Surrounded by secrets, deception, and a haunting past that refuses to stay buried, she must confront not only those who seek to control her but also the darkness festering within herself. As she's pulled deeper into a web of lies and betrayal, forgiveness seems impossible, and trust even more elusive.

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.

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.
