Description
Beauty and the Beast meets The Phantom of the Opera in a tale of magic, music, and one dark curse..
Griffin Dunn is a brilliant piano virtuoso and a guest at the lavish Byrons estate. When his callous treatment of the Byrons' son leads to the child's death, the boy's mysterious nanny places a dark curse on Griffin, binding his soul to the mansion until true love finds him.
Kate Covington has always been an outsider, but she's determined to make it as a clarinetist at The Byrons School of Music. She's heard strains of the ghostly piano during her early morning rehearsals, but no way is she letting those creep-tastic compositions distract her. Not even when a hot, pompous jerk named Griff shows up and calls her an imposter.
Over one hundred years have passed and Griffin's given up on love finding him-until he meets Kate. The instant their paths cross, he transforms from a spirit to a living, breathing man. It's obvious she's the one he's been waiting for. But though the pair falls in love, they discover the curse isn't as straightforward as it seemed. As dark magic awakens in the Byrons School, they'll have one chance to break Griffin's curse, or else he'll be trapped . . . forever.
