Heart of Stone by Krysta Fox

An accidental bride. A family curse no one believed could ever truly be broken. Is their love destined to be destroyed or will it create a magic more powerful than they dreamed possible.

DELILAH
I’d been waiting years for the chance to catalogue the art in the Stone Family’s collection. When my chance comes to be one of the first visitors to the ancestral mansion, I can’t wait any longer. But a slip of the pen leaves me with more than just a precious collection of valuable art to spend my days with. For the man that lurks inside the dark, dusty halls of Falls Manor has snared me with his sweet sadness, and when he reveals that I signed the contract to be his wife, I find myself wishing our time together might not have to end. Is the curse he tells me about real? Or is our love the magic that will win out in the end?

COLE
My youngest brother may have been set free by love, but the curse that’s plagued my family for years still lingers. A promise that I will never know true love. So I don’t expect to be entranced by the woman I believe has been sent to be my bride. It’s a business arrangement, nothing more. Until suddenly, it’s not, and I fear my heart will never be the same. Will I lose her to the power of a curse that can never truly be lifted? Or can I dare to hope for something more?
