What do you do when a cursed (and outrageously attractive) prince crash-lands onto your living room carpet?

If you're Leah Stahl — translator of magical texts, collector of hexed teapots, and world-class sarcasm enthusiast — the answer is obvious: panic, throw out a few snarky comments, and hope this isn't your new normal.

Spoiler: it is.

One mysterious package later, Lia accidentally activates an ancient artifact... which just so happens to be Kairon — a former prince turned magical object with commitment issues, zero patience, and cheekbones sharp enough to curse someone on their own. Now they're magically tethered, stuck within five meters of each other, and discovering the real curse might be how every accidental touch sets off magical side effects: flickering lights, boiling water, and tension you could cut with a dagger.

Oh, and there's someone hunting him. A dangerous magical collector with a to-do list that includes "steal the prince" and "maybe end the world."

Leah and Kairon have two goals: break the curse... and not fall for each other in the process. (Spoiler again: they're not doing great on that second one.)
