An ancient curse. A man desperate for redemption. And a witch who seeks vengeance.

Victor Blackburn is living on borrowed time, cursed to die unless he can find a way to break the spell that haunts him. His only hope lies with Mercy Seymour, a witch who disappeared long ago—and the key to his survival may lie in the very woman he wronged. But Mercy isn’t looking for redemption. She wants revenge. She watched Victor commit a treacherous act, and she eagerly awaits the day his curse claims his life.

However, fate has other plans. When Victor kidnaps Mercy and takes her to the foreboding Blackburn Castle, old magic and restless spirits begin to unravel the painful truth of the past. As they search for the fabled stones that could end the curse, they realize the greatest weapon to break the chains of vengeance is love—if they can let it in.

But in a world where the past casts long shadows, and every move is watched by dark forces, will they be able to set aside their hatred and save everything they hold dear—or will their own love be the price they must pay?

Blackburn Castle is the captivating second book in the Tortured Souls Gothic Romance series, though it can be read as a stand-alone. If you crave fierce heroines, magnetic chemistry, and a darkly enchanting world full of twists, you'll be swept away by R.C. Matthews' spellbinding tale.
