The Cursed Earl, Marriage by Necessity Book 2 By Ruth Ann Nordin

In The Earl’s Cursed Heart, Algernon Wright, the Earl of Draconhawthshire, has always taken meticulous care to avoid bad luck, believing he is cursed to die on his twenty-fifth birthday. With only a year left, he feels compelled to marry—a union ideally suited to a disinterested spinster who can bear him an heir without emotional entanglement. However, his plans are upended when he encounters the spirited Miss Reina Livingstone. Unlike the old maid he envisioned, Reina is vibrant and full of life, igniting a spark of hope in Algernon that he thought lost forever.

While Algernon is resigned to his fate, Reina refuses to accept his belief in a curse. She sees beneath his sorrowful exterior and recognizes a man who deserves the joys of love and life. Determined to change his perspective, she embarks on a mission to win his heart, despite the risks she may face in challenging his beliefs about luck and destiny.

As their relationship deepens, Reina’s unwavering spirit clashes with Algernon's cautious nature, forcing him to confront his fears and reconsider what truly matters. Will Reina’s determination be enough to break the curse that has loomed over Algernon’s life, or will he remain trapped in a fate he believes is sealed? The Earl’s Cursed Heart is a captivating tale of love, hope, and the power of belief against the odds. 📚❤️
