This is a standalone romance.
I typically do series, but I thought for this one, I’d stay within one book because I’m not sure if I’ll end up doing more fairytale romances or not. Part of it depends on whether people like this type of romance or not. As much as I believe in writing for passion, I do take people’s wishes into consideration. 🙂
Willow Knudson just inherited an English estate that she intends to sell. There are two problems. One, she’s unable to sign the contract, and two, she can’t even leave the property. She’s not superstitious by nature, but common sense tells her something strange is going on.
In 1817, Julian Azazel, the Earl of Blackwell, went to his country estate to tend to his father’s funeral. That evening a missive came from a stranger warning him that when the clock struck midnight, he was going to be cursed to relive the same day. He laughed it off and threw the missive in the fire. Two centuries later, he’s no longer laughing. The curse is real.
From before they were born, Willow and Julian were destined to meet on June 17, 1817.
Willow had assumed wealthy and titled gentlemen would be snobs, but Julian turns out to be the kindest person she’s ever met. And even better, he’s more attractive in person than he was in his portrait. It’s enough of a temptation to convince her to stay in the past forever.
At long last, the aching loneliness that has plagued Julian’s life for centuries is at an end. Not only is there someone who understands what he has been going through, but she’s far lovelier than he recalls any of the ladies in London being. But isn’t it selfish to ask a lady from another time to give up everything to live under a curse with him?
The path to happy endings can get complicated, especially when magic is involved.
This fairytale romance features a dark villain, a curse, fairies, a hero who is an earl from the Regency era, and a heroine from modern times. People who enjoy Grimm’s fairy tales and romance will enjoy this tale of true love conquering the darkest of curses.
If this sounds interesting, here are the places you can find it:
I’ve just finished reading this and I must say I love how the ending played out with the lawyer, most time travel stories I’ve read never touch on what happens in the world they left behind so this was a lovely change.
I’m excited to find out that you enjoyed the ending! 😀
Congratulations! I hope it does well.
Thanks, Rami!
