About This Book
Rosa Capelli has spent her life hunting the monsters hiding in plain sight—and she's good at it. But when Luca da Firenze enters her world, everything she's built her identity around starts to fracture. He's powerful, infuriating, and technically her natural enemy. The real tension in Cursebound isn't just the slow-burn pull between a hunter and the vampire she shouldn't want—it's the deeper unraveling of everything Rosa thought she knew about her past, her family, and what she's actually fighting for. The stakes are personal in the best way.
Kincaid and Morrow write Rosa with a sharp, self-aware voice that keeps the pages moving even when the emotional weight gets heavy. The dual-author collaboration produces a story with real momentum—tight pacing, charged banter, and romantic tension that earns its heat rather than relying on shortcuts. For readers who want their paranormal romance grounded in genuine character stakes rather than just brooding aesthetics, Cursebound delivers a first installment that builds its world carefully while keeping the emotional core front and center.
