Thorn of a Curse (A Pure Heart Book 2)

EVERY CURSE HAS ITS CONDITIONS

Cursed to appear as a monster when any gaze touches him, Beast avoids human interaction, hating the enchanted thorns piercing his skin with each glance. But when a Sandceress nearly cursed his friends, he faces his own fears… and his own curse. Beast reluctantly enters the Tales of Time bookshop, rumored to have enchanted texts. Inside, he finds a woman with wit as sharp as her tongue and enchanted glasses that see through his curse, to see…him. But Beast can’t risk breaking his curse—its conditions are too steep, he won’t let the magic hurt anyone else.

EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORNS.

Rose’s entire life has revolved around caring for her father and researching magic. She never thought she’d meet a cursed man who sought how to break a curse—just not his own. While helping him, she learns the curse he’s seeking answers for is the very same that tore apart her family. But this curse…it doesn’t follow the rules of magic.

EVERY HEART HAS ITS SCARS.

With townsfolk who despises all things magic, tensions rise and danger lurks around them. Beast tries to resist Rose, and her touch, for her protection, but being truly seen reminds him what it feels like to be himself. Not the beast. The man. Desire burns between them as Rose continues to investigate his curse—and past—despite his insistence, convinced it’s the key to solving their mystery curse. Together they must dive into the history of magic—Vala, Fae, and Mermaid—to uncover dangerous secrets not only about each other, but about magic itself.
