Zara Moretti never wanted to be a thief again. But when her boyfriend and best friend betray her publicly on her birthday, leaving her penniless and broken, she accepts one final job: steal the priceless Blood Moon Ruby from the Royal Museum. What she doesn't know is that the ruby carries an ancient curse—anyone who steals it becomes magically bound to another person, their fates intertwined until the curse breaks or they both die.
Enter Dante Ashcroft, the royal family's most elite bodyguard. Cold, powerful, and dangerously attractive, he's spent his entire life restoring his disgraced family's honor. When Zara steals the ruby on his watch, they both become cursed—linked by an unbreakable magical bond that lets them feel each other's emotions and tracks their every move.
Now they have 30 days to break the curse by completing three impossible trials, or they'll both die. Forced to work together, the thief and the bodyguard must face their deepest fears, darkest secrets, and the undeniable attraction burning between them. But Zara's enemies want her dead, the royal family wants the ruby back, and a mysterious villain is hunting them both.
Can a woman who's lost everything trust a man sworn to uphold the law? And when the final trial forces them to choose between love and survival, which will they pick?
