The magic here is dying, and if she stays, the curse will consume us both.
A beautiful stranger shows up at my cursed castle.
She claims an email brought her here.
But I didn’t send it.
She’s a librarian, too curious for her own good.
Her timing couldn’t be worse—this place is cursed, and so am I.
And the magic here is dying.
She should leave before she gets too close.
But I can’t let her go.
Every second she’s here, I’m drawn to her.
And when I see her in the library, looking at me like I’m not a monster…
I wonder if Christmas brought her to save me.
But I know how this ends. I’ll have to push her away.
Or the curse will claim us both.
Still, I’d rather risk it all than lose her.
