Falling in love shouldn't be fatal - unless you're hexed, heartless or hiding a deadly secret . . .
Daisy has a secret: she's a Souleater, an outlawed magical being who can feed off of emotions. She's also hexed: her kiss cursed to kill. So she's built a quiet life running a crumbling inn on the edge of town, matchmaking guests while keeping her own heart firmly off-limits.
But when a mysterious contest promises a cure for Souleater magic and a reward big enough to save her inn, Daisy sets off on a perilous quest with Astin, her emotionally unavailable (and infuriatingly attractive) gardener. There's just one problem: Astin hunts Souleaters. And he doesn't know Daisy is one of them.
As secrets unravel and feelings get far too complicated, Daisy must choose: the cure, the truth . . . or the one man she might love enough to kiss.
