Curses. To believe or not to believe…

Violet Anderson believed.

How could she not when the proof was right in front of her? And her curse … well, it meant that, like her mother and older sisters, she was doomed to spend her life pining for a man who would undervalue her.

Not that she would allow that to happen. She'd never met a man worth pining for.

Then Simon Jennings walked into her bookstore. Aside from being hot enough to put her brain on the fritz, the man was not her type. He was one of those nice guys—the kind who opened doors and didn't try to cop a feel during a simple goodnight kiss. Since the curse ensured nice guys would never fall in love with her, Violet knew her best bet was to stay as far from him as she could.

Too bad Simon didn't get the memo.

When Simon's charm proves too powerful to resist, Violet gives in to the undeniable chemistry. After all, it's not like she would fall in love with a handsome stranger after one night, right?

While Violet is part of a series, this book can be read as a standalone.
