Prince Jeffrey is a bossy, smug, overprotective grouch and the last man I want anywhere near my V-Card.

Would I like to know what all the sexy times fuss is about? Heck yes.

Do I want to lose my virginity to a prince out to ruin my plans (even if he was my childhood crush)? Hell no.

He might be my nemesis, but Jeffrey is the only person who believes in my family's curse, the one that says I'm doomed to die for sins my ancestors committed centuries ago. He knows I'm willing to sacrifice whatever it takes—including myself—to ensure my sister's happiness and my family's throne.

And he's just as determined to stop me.

But he can't rescue me from Fate.

Or...can he? Turns out Jeffrey has secrets of his own, and a plan to set me free, once and for all.

Soon, we're following clues down a rabbit hole that leads us into the past, into danger, and into each other's arms—a couple of star-crossed lovers

I realize my grumpy prince is actually protective, sweet, and devoted in a way I'm not sure I deserve.

But can this love survive long enough to break an ancient curse?
