1 About this book
How far would you go for happily ever after?
For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings... until she learns that the love of her life will marry another.
Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic but wicked Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing.
But after Evangeline's first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game―and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she'd pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after or the most exquisite tragedy...

2 What to expect
A young adult romantic fantasy: a girl who believes in fairy-tale love bargains with the immortal Prince of Hearts, promising three kisses, and finds the price far higher than she agreed. Curses, a northern kingdom of legends, a prince and a dangerous, charming antihero drive the story. It is light, fast and romantic, told like a dark fairy tale, and it is the first book of a trilogy, so much is left open.
Good for readers who want: fantasy, a love story, and magic.
