When a wild birthday celebration goes spectacularly wrong, a group of brothers finds themselves cursed with doomed relationships—a ridiculous superstition that should be easy to laugh off, except the whole town seems determined to make it real. Our hero has resigned himself to a lonely fate when Ren Winters blows into Port Snow like a breath of fresh air, and suddenly he's wondering if maybe, just maybe, curses can be broken. Their chemistry is electric, but with gossip swirling and fate seemingly stacked against them, this couple will have to fight harder than most to prove their love is worth the risk. It's the perfect small-town romance for anyone who believes that sometimes the best second chances come wrapped in the most unexpected packages.
