Generations of secrets. An ancient curse. Love has never been an option.
Lauren Ambrose has made a life for herself as a fledging artist, far from the ancient secrets and cobwebbed past of her family’s historic estate in Texas. Generations of the Ambrose women have suffered at the hands of a curse, and the last place Lauren wants to spend time is at the Ambrose Estate, among the tragedies of the past. But when her grandmother, matriarch of the Ambrose fortune, requires Lauren to attend an urgent business meeting, she reluctantly travels home.
Nick Matthews is ready for a battle. Lillian Ambrose, co-founder of Ambrose Oil, has agreed to hear his investment idea, but no one has ever successfully partnered with the business tycoon. When he arrives at Ambrose Estate, prepared with weeks of research, the last person he expects to meet is Lauren, a dynamic and captivating woman with a past full of secrets. As Nick gets to know Lauren, he discovers she is mostly perfect for him, except for one, major drawback… The curse that has the power to destroy everything between them.
Rating: Mild. Mild kissing.

This is a stand alone but I suggest reading the first one first. I think the curse makes more sense in the first one than if you read this one without that previous background. Just my opinion.
I like the premise of this series. It is unique. The curse itself is rather mystical and there is a little unexplainable twist at the end of the story. The writing is good and the story does not drag. The two main characters are likable though we have to wonder about Nick in the beginning. But he turns out to be an okay guy. Looking forward to reading about the other granddaughters as well.
No sex, language or violence
