On sale NOW

Only from Avon Books

When a Chattan Male falls in love, strike his heart with fire from above . . .

They call him Lord Lyon, proud, determined—and cursed. He is in need of a bride, but if he falls in love, he dies. And so he wants a woman he cannot love. His fervent hope is that by marrying—and having a son—without love, perhaps he can break the curse’s chains forever.

Enter beautiful Thea Martin—a duke’s headstrong, errant daughter and society’s most brilliant matchmaker. Years ago, she and Lyon were inseparable until he disappeared from her life without a word. Now, she is charged with finding Lyon’s Bride—a woman he cannot love for a man Thea could love too well.

Or will the power of love be enough to overcome all obstacles?
