About this listen
Cursed by magic, bound by mistakes, Princess Aria finds her destiny hinges on the mysterious Baron Reeves. Will love be enough to break the curse, or will war bring her kingdom to ruin?
When Crown Princess Aria sees her kingdom on the brink of war with the magic-wielding Casters, she takes it upon herself to speak with the Widow Morton, the most dangerous Caster in the realm. If successful, Aria will not only ensure peace but also prove to her father that she is a worthy heir. But when her negotiations fail, Aria is dealt a terrible curse: Over the course of one hundred days, she will be unable to sleep, her body and mind doomed to waste away. And then the curse will pass to her sister, until every member of the king’s line is dead.
Aria’s best hope for breaking her curse is to seek help from another Caster—the handsome and charming Baron Reeves. He may be entitled to a place at the court, but as a magic user, can he truly be trusted? She vows not be fooled by his dimpled smiles or his devotion to his brothers, but as she spends more time with him, she discovers that her heart has other ideas.
Baron has no desire to see the princess suffer—especially since she might be the key to changing the king’s opinion on Casters—but he has secrets to protect and ghosts of his own. The last person he tried to save using his magic died, and he’s not willing to risk harming someone he loves again.
As the curse continues its deadly countdown, both Aria and Baron must risk their lives and their hearts to save each other and unite a kingdom.

Kate Fletcher is my kryptonite. She's also my best friend. Former best friend? I'm not sure what you call it when we grew up attached at the hip and then she left Silver Creek (and me) to travel the world. The important thing is: Kate is back. (Temporarily.) And I'm still in love with her. (Permanently.) But something is different now. The attraction doesn't seem one-sided. I don't think I'm imagining the heat in Kate's eyes or the chemistry crackling between us.

Story
Seventeen-year-old Emma doesn't know who she is or where she came from. The not-exactly-legal merchant ship she was raised on is the only home she's ever known, and she's had enough of the captain's lies. Her plans to break free from her three-masted prison are thrown off course by a deadly mutiny, and she finds herself on the run with a target on her back. A charming naval officer becomes her unlikely companion, and though they're constantly running from danger, Emma is even more afraid of the feelings she's developing for a man she'll likely never see again—if she can ever make it home.

Lord Farnsworth would rather rot in debtor’s prison than sell the one place that feels like home to him—his mother’s manor. That is, until he meets the woman who wants to buy it. Sally Duncan is beautiful, intelligent, and as rich as a baron—a rich baron, not a cash-strapped one like Lord Farnsworth. She’s the solution to every one of his financial problems and is bewitching to boot. All he needs to do is sell her his beloved manor and then charm her to the altar, and the manor will be his again. Simple, right?

We always spend Christmas with Max’s family at our cabin, and every year I have to suffer through a blissful week with him in a completely platonic way. His steady stream of girlfriends have made him off limits...until now.

Great book!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The story took me on an adventure like no other and the Sleeping Beauty Vibes were done so well and so different. I loved the magic elements and the cause for change! I just can’t get over this story!
Princess Aria has never felt she measured up to her father’s expectations: Perfection. She constantly marks her downfalls and seeks his approval. But after some alarming happenings she finds she can’t stand by. Aria seeks to bring Peace and in so doing trusts the wrong person and winds up cursed.
Guillaume Reeves, known as Baron (and I love the reason he goes by Baron). As a magic user he has always been feared and been dealt with unfairly. Luckily he is proud of who he is and he carries a huge weight with the secrets he keeps and his own feelings of inability to make a difference when it counts.
This story is filled with: A curse with a deadly countdown, Sweet Letters, Magic and Shapeshifters, Unexpected Revelations, Standing Up For What’s Right, Learning To Admit Faults or Mistakes, The Most Sweetest Twins, The Best Slow Burn Romance, Death and Revenge, Daring Rescues, Heartfelt and Hopeful moments, and Crippling Grief
Favorite Quote: “Baron,” she whispered. “Kiss me.”
