Summary
After uncovering a salacious scandal with a stableboy, Dean Winchester’s father declares he must marry or be sent to an asylum. Dean has always been a good son and heir, but the thought of a loveless marriage is too much; he runs away to hide as a servant in Novak Abbey, a mysterious noble house on the outskirts of the remote town of Udolpho. Hidden behind the crumbling walls, Dean tends to a reclusive family that—according to the spooked locals—are burdened by a dark, unknown curse.
The handsome, intense Lord Castiel Shurley, nephew to the cruel Earl, evokes in Dean a magnetic attraction he struggles to deny. But, between Dean’s hidden identity and a curse that may be far more than local legend, the path to happiness seems dim and twisted. Deep in the woods, Dean must untangle truths from tall tales. He will have to risk far more than his reputation to find the love he deserves—and to survive the inhabitants of Novak Abbey.
