Julia Jones needs a change. After selling her second-hand bookshop and breaking up with her boyfriend, she does something drastic. She buys a manor house in England, planning to make it her new project, and maybe even her new home, much to the chagrin of her best friend, Camilla. On the first day in her new house, she meets Theodore Harrow. He's tall, pale, and gorgeous, but there's something about him that she can't quite put her finger on. As their love story unfolds, she realizes that she will have to fight, along with new friends and old, to free him of his curse, even if that means risking losing him.
