She’s supposed to stay hidden. Falling for her best friend was never part of the plan.
Olivia has spent years tucked away on a remote ranch, hidden from a world that still isn’t safe and from a past that never really let her go. Staying quiet has always been easier. Safer.
But Michael has always been the exception. He’s her best friend, the boy who knows her silences and the parts of her she tries hardest to hide. He’s also the only one who knows how to bring her back when the dark gets too close.
Somewhere between growing up together and a thousand small moments, friendship becomes something deeper.
Because Michael is Olivia’s first love. And Olivia is his first for everything.
But love doesn’t make the past disappear. As buried secrets begin to unravel, Olivia is forced to face the truth about what was done to her, what Michael would risk to keep her safe, and the fear that loving him might destroy him too.
Olivia’s Curse is a steamy, emotional friends-to-lovers romance about first love, buried secrets, and the boy who would risk everything to keep her safe.
This is the first book in the Olivia & Michael duet. Their story continues in Olivia’s Wish.
