Two centuries ago, Adrian vowed to seek revenge against the Gypsy woman who bound his spirit for eternity. Despite how far under the dirt Miryah Kotorara’s bones lay, he won’t stop tormenting the Kotorara bloodline. The person doesn’t matter, only the name.
Until her.
Dr. Mia Kotorara has spent the last ten years trying to forget her Gypsy heritage. Ostracized by her family and emotionally damaged, Mia throws herself into her work to fill the void. She forgets everything from her past—except for the man who solely exists in her dreams.
When reality and dreams collide, Adrian and Mia find something they never expected. Love.
Magic will bring them together, but it may not be enough to mend Mia’s broken heart and Adrian’s lust for revenge.
The Kotorara curse is never satisfied.
As the curse threatens everything they have overcome, Adrian and Mia must fight to save what matters most—each other.
EXCERPT:
I kicked off my morning being late and irritated. Damn coffee shop I frequented down the street was closed due to renovations. I veered from my normal route so I could grab a cup of coffee—my liquid lifeline and only magical substance I believed in. The cute shop smelled like heaven but felt more like hell, since fifteen minutes dragged by before they got my goddamn order right.
Finally, the barista waved me over.
"Thanks." I paid, tipping the pimple-faced kid a ten-dollar bill. Generous considering the amount of time it took, but the boy was too thin, and I couldn't stand the thought of him not having enough money to eat later. One reason I chose to work in the medical field. My goal: to help as many as possible.
"Yes, ma'am," he said with a sloppy grin. "You don’t want the change?"
"Nah, keep it, kid. You saved me from killing someone today." I smiled back before trudging out the doors.
A decent cup of caffeine kept me on my feet; working ten-plus hours a day didn't allow much room for sleep.
I stopped and inhaled the rich aroma before taking a tentative sip. Mmmm, not bad.
In a rush around the corner, a heaviness slammed into my chest, and I slowed my pace. As the sensation grew, sending a shiver up my spine, I stopped again. The feeling, the pressure, not something I'd come across in so long. I stiffened and turned, not sure what—or whom—I'd find.
Him.
Every ounce of stored air evaporated from my lungs.
Beautiful, haunting hazel eyes stared back at me in shock. The heaviness from seconds ago lifted, replaced with a warmth that spread throughout my body. As if, for years, time had stood still, and now the veil had lifted and I could see. Even the sun shone brighter and the air smelled crisper.
Those eyes, so familiar, hadn't graced my dreams in years. His presence had been etched in my mind since I was a little girl; though seeing him triggered painful reminders of my past.
