Shadowvale isn’t typical small-town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse.
For Gideon Locke, that curse has haunted his family for generations.
Branded a jinx since boyhood, he’s retreated into the quiet sanctuaryof his repair shop, The Clockwork Owl, determined to keep his bad luck from touching anyone else.
Better to live alone than risk destroying anyone else’s life. Sabrina Moreau has her own burden: an irresistible compulsion to rescue broken things.
From cracked teacups to tarnished silver, her antique shop, Bits & Pieces, is a refuge for forgotten treasures, but nothing has ever called to her quite like Gideon does.
Hired to restore an antique music box for the powerful witch Amelia Marchand, Sabrina ropes reluctant Gideon into the job.
The work draws them into each other’s lives—and into a mystery that hints Gideon’s curse may not be what it seems.
As secrets surface and the past refuses to stay buried, they’ll have to decide if some things are better left unrepaired … or if two damaged hearts might finally be worth mending.
