Love & Other Cursed Things

Never fall in love in a cursed town.



Tourists flock to Mistpoint Harbor to snap photos of the famous lighthouse, browse the Museum of Curses & Curiosities, and claim their “I survived the Most Cursed Town in America!” pin. But for me, growing up in Mistpoint Harbor wasn’t a vacation. Not when locals have a deep-seated loathing for my family.



They hate my dad.

They hate my older brothers.



And they hate me--Zoey Durand, the girl who shrunk in high school at the taunts and jeers. Like a sad, wilted flower. If it wasn't for October Brambilla, life would've been a real living hell.



But the moment I could leave my family's disgraced legacy and this cursed town behind, I did.



And I vowed to never return.



Until the phone call. My brother is in trouble, and I’d risk just about anything for my family. Even a curse. Even running into October Brambilla, the daughter of the wealthiest, most revered family in all of Mistpoint Harbor.



She is town royalty.

I'm town scum.

She's a goddess and ice queen.

I just want in-and-out.



But she's my total weakness. And she's already been cursed. She wants me gone before I meet the same misfortune. The more she pushes, the more my heart is willing to go up against a stupid old town legend. But my head is telling me to run.



No one returns to Mistpoint Harbor once they leave, and the longer I stay, the more I realize why.
