■Synopsis■ In the unforgiving world of Victorian high society, it pays to have a good name—and a handsome butler by your side. But things aren’t always what they seem... for you are cursed. Everything you touch instantly withers and dies. Bound to the confines of your estate, you live a life of isolation—until a run-in with a charming thief sparks the faintest glimmer of hope. Could there be a way to break your curse? Will you finally be able to live freely with the man of your dreams, or are you destined for a lifetime of cold solitude? ■Characters■ Jack — The Flirtatious Prankster He claims he came to steal your fortune, but perhaps what he truly wants is your heart. His advances are bold, his grin shameless—and your curse doesn’t seem to scare him one bit. Behind his playful charm lies a man who knows all too well the pain of loneliness. Can he earn your trust, or will your love wither before it even begins? Andrew — Your Loyal Butler Bound by his vow to serve you, Andrew has always remained faithfully at your side. Calm, composed, and ever-logical, he seems to have a solution for every problem. Yet his unwavering devotion sometimes feels too personal—could there be more to his loyalty than mere duty? James — The Suave Prince Prince James has everything a man could desire—except love. The moment he laid eyes on you, he resolved to make you his. At first, his intentions seem shallow, but his persistence suggests otherwise. Can you transform this self-centered royal into your very own Prince Charming, or will you leave him behind in the dust of his own pride?
