Falling for the Doomed Bride: Bluebeard's Tale

By C.K. Beggan

A cursed treasure.
A relentless hunt.
A doomed bride who won't go down without a fight.

Treasure-hunting pirate Jax the Bluebeard has fallen under a curse that only his bride can break. Each of his wives has failed and been doomed by the curse, filling Jax's days with death and hardening his heart. Yet the curse compels Jax to keep searching for new brides that can win him the deadly treasure he desires.

Fortunately for Jax, he just raided the ship of a cunning sorceress. Unfortunately for him, she just might be the woman of his dreams.

Sofie, a fairy godmother of the realm, is fleeing the kingdom after cursing a newborn princess. All she wants is to return to the safety of her wintry homeland. Instead, Sofie is tricked into becoming Bluebeard's next bride...but not before she curses him to endless slumber if he pricks his finger on a splinter of wood-a true challenge for a man who lives aboard an empire of wooden ships.

Can Sofie beat the curse of Bluebeard's wives and save herself and Jax? Or will these two villains do anything to avoid the warm feelings growing in their hearts-even if it means dooming each other?

Falling for the Doomed Bride combines the villains from Sleeping Beauty and Bluebeard's Wives in a no spice romantasy adventure where the characters trade both kisses and curses. Falling for the Doomed Bride is the second book in the To Win a Dark Heart series which retells fairy tales as old as time, but this time it's the villain's turn to get a happy ending.
