An ancient curse. A forbidden love. Which will die first?
Sorrel Black’s family has been ruled by a book passed down from generation to generation. But now that it is in her possession, it has stopped working. For her alone, one critical piece of information is missing that will keep the curse, cast long ago as a punishment for her family’s rebellion, from being passed down to her own daughter someday. She hopes the book’s silence means the curse will end with her—even if it means dying alone. But then Eric Knight walks into her life and changes everything.
When investigative journalist Eric Knight is forced to take an assignment to interview bakery owner Sorrel Black, he has no idea that her story will become their story. That his secrets are her secrets. Now together, these born enemies turned lovers must not only face the curse that has separated their families for generations, but the reality that breaking the curse means breaking their hearts. For, in the end, only one family can survive.

My Review: 5 StarsYou know a writer can write when she pens a story that is well outside of her normal genre and absolutely nails it. I've been eagerly anticipating this story, wondering how in the world Jennifer Peel could pull of a fantasy, mingled with magic, a curse, and a healthy dose of steamy (yet clean) romance that tightly gripped me, heart and soul, but folks...she did it! She absolutely did it.Sorrel is one of the sweetest, nicest, most talented characters I've had the pleasure of meeting and I was literally drooling over her edible creations. Eric is surly and mysterious, but his strong protective, courage side had me swooning pretty fast. In a mystical adventure, this story blends mortal life with slightly paranormal characteristics that results in a wonderfully intriguing and heart pounding urban fantasy.I was completely captivated and so fascinated by the dream portion that I found myself actually dreaming of these dreams. Phew--pass a fan over, please. This story was highly entertaining and I'm crossing my fingers and toes that this is not the end of this legend.Content: mild+ romance (innuendo, steamy kissing); mild+ violence (fighting, death, evil); moderate language
