The locals say it’s haunted. Historians say it’s cursed. But no matter the danger, hotshot hotel developer Alexa Chandler is determined to turn the mysterious castle she inherited from her father into her flagship property. Once inside, she learns that the building comes with a guardian—the immoveable portrait of a gray-eyed man. Driven by his compelling gaze, she touches the canvas and unleashes the phantom trapped within.
Contained by a gypsy curse and imbued with the black magic that holds him in thrall, Damon Forsyth has had two centuries to think of nothing but revenge and retribution. He has drawn Alexa to his lair to orchestrate his escape. But although she frees him from the painting, the castle remains his prison. Soon, he learns that his ancient enemy remains in power and though a game of seduction keeps Alexa in his clutches, the cost of his freedom could be her life.
Alexa cannot resist Damon’s ghostly touch any more than she will give up her plans for the future. She wants the castle—and she wants him. To gain both, she not only has to thwart the curse, but she has to take a chance at falling in love.
