Can Heartbreak be loved?

Destiny has always believed in true love, but after years of failed relationships—both hers and those she's experienced through her empath skills—she's beginning to wonder if true love is a relic like those she repairs at the Smithsonian.

Everything changes when she's assigned a Byzantine reliquary.

The relic is steeped in mystery, as is the independent researcher who arrives to examine it. Tristan Bane is brilliant and handsome, but those aren't the reasons Destiny feels drawn to him. From the moment they meet, she feels a connection to him she can't ignore. Tristan is hiding something, and the closer she gets to him, the more she realizes his secrets are far older and more dangerous than she could have imagined.

Because Tristan isn't simply an enigmatic man with a complicated past. He's an immortal carrying Heartbreak itself.

And now, for reasons neither of them understands, it wants Destiny.

Dive into this lush, high-stakes paranormal romantasy and discover a forbidden passion worth defying eternity for. With a 4/5 open door spice level and a happily ever after, The Curse of Heartbreak is the first book in the Living Curses Series.
