Arrabella thought she was done with dreams, done with curses and the threat of death. After surviving the ancient Aztec curse that had plagued her family for centuries, Arra was more than ready for her new life in the boring little town of Grainer, Maine. Boring and small sounded perfect...but she should have known better than to think it would last. The dream was odd, but Arra passed it off as nerves about starting school in Grainer. Her boyfriend, Tanner, was there to distract her…and get her into a little trouble as well. He pushes the dream out of her mind until they walk onto the school campus and see her. The lonely girl from Arra’s dream. Tanner’s reaction is fierce. He won’t risk losing Arra again and demands she stay away from Sibeal, but Arra can’t stop thinking about her haunted expression. What if she can help her? Arra can’t just walk away and let whatever curse has a hold of Sibeal claim her without trying to stop it. But what if Sibeal deserves the punishment? Arra’s battle to make the right choice about Sibeal only gets harder when she is forced to turn to the person in town she likes least for help. Sebastian Wallace is arrogant and irritating, but he’s seems to be the only one who can help her. As Arra tries to determine what the right choice is, she finds out saving Sibeal may be the least of her problems.

She was eleven and I was fourteen. I didn’t understand what I was feeling. I’ve never felt this way before. It was like being struck by lightning…intense, frightening and life threatening. Yes, I said it. Life threatening. You see, as soon as she walked into my life. Everything changed. She was the forbidden fruit. Innocent and untouched. The one who held my heart in her hands and she didn’t even know it. I didn’t know back then when I was fourteen how much I would love her. But, I know now. She was the one whose innocent lips I wanted to kiss. She was the tempting fruit I wanted to devour. Her body, the ultimate sin my hands needed to touch. I knew I wasn’t supposed to feel this way about her. It was forbidden. It was taboo. I was away from her for six years. I left as a child and now…I’m a man. The only man that could ever love her. The only man that could protect her. But, there is another man who wants her. He makes her do things. He wants to spoil her…destroy her. I can’t let that happen. She’s mine. Not his. He will die before he takes her from me. It’s a SIN…what I’m about to do, but she’s worth every ounce of blood that I will shed for her. I’ve killed for her before. I’ll kill for her…again. The question is…Can I save her from him before it’s too late?
