A beautiful princess. A charming adventurer. And a cursed treasure.

Phineas Coulter, the Viscount Waring, lives for adventure in distant lands. When family obligation requires his return to London, he unexpectedly finds himself entangled in a mystery of danger…and desire. To save a friend, he must unravel the secrets of a priceless Indian artifact while protecting it from those desperate to claim it. At the center of it all is a woman of fair and mythic beauty who could be the key to an ancient legend and a tragic curse. He’s certain she has the answers he needs, if he could just get her to trust him…

Born of a revered and illustrious family, Lady Eleanor Fairchild is expected to do great things. For a woman in her position, that means she must marry very very well. Despite her renowned beauty and undeniable wealth, a frustrating affliction has resulted in her being deemed undesirable in the marriage market. When the dashing Lord Waring initiates a flirtation, she’s certain his interest won’t last…even though he seems to truly see her as no one else ever has. While he encourages her to explore her deepest desires, his possession of a mythical necklace of love and murder has her questioning her very purpose in the world.

Will a curse of greed and obsession destroy them both, or can a tragic tale lost to time reunite fated lovers from across generations?
