Description

"You're not afraid," the woman whispered, her voice barely audible over the ambient noise of the ER. Her hand lifted from the gurney, trembling violently. "You're not... How are you not afraid?" Del moved closer, her professional mask slipping just a fraction. "I'm here to help. What's your name?" "Isla." The woman flinched when a metal tray dropped three stations over. She flinched when the automatic doors hissed open. She flinched when her own silver-white hair brushed against her cheek. But her storm-gray eyes locked onto Del’s with a desperate, terrifying intensity. "Everyone else is afraid," Isla breathed, her skin ice-cold against Del's wrist. "Always afraid. But you... why aren't you afraid of me?" Del didn't have an answer. She should have been terrified. She should have run. Instead, she took the stranger’s hand. And sealed her fate. Delilah "Del" Chen is a trauma nurse who lives by a strict code: control the environment, check the exits, and never let them see you sweat. Her life is a perfectly organized fortress against the chaos of the world. Until she meets Isla Blackwood. Isla is hauntingly beautiful, undeniably magical, and paralyzed by a curse that has trapped her in a state of eternal terror for two hundred years. A prisoner in the crumbling, gothic Blackwood Manor, Isla’s fear is a living thing—a weapon used by an ancient rival to bind her power. Drawn to the mysterious witch and her impossible plight, Del steps out of the safety of her sterile hospital and into a world of dark magic, cursed roses, and shadows that bite. She is determined to save Isla, even if it means breaking every rule she lives by. But the curse demands a price. To free the woman she loves, Del must make a bargain with the dark. She must sacrifice the one thing that keeps a human alive: her ability to feel fear. Now, Del is fearless. Reckless. Unstoppable. And Isla, finally free but wracked with guilt, must protect the woman who gave up her survival instincts to save her. Can their love survive when one heart feels too much, and the other can no longer feel the danger closing in?
