He hasn't spoken in ten years. She can break the curse—if he gives her everything. Gracemount eats secrets for breakfast. Elias Wolfe, the rancher the town calls cursed, lost his voice the night fire took everything. When Seraphine Moore steps off the bus at sunset, the witch with storm-dark eyes offers a bargain: surrender your body, your silence, your obedience…and she'll give your voice back. One touch cracks the spell; one night turns need into obsession. As Elias yields to the woman who owns his breath, the land stirs—the barn remembers flame, roots whisper in the dark, and pious neighbors prove far more dangerous than any spell. Their desire is ritual, their power a prayer, and every kiss risks waking what was buried. Bound to a price that keeps rising, a stubborn cowboy becomes a weapon and the witch who freed him discovers the one man who can ruin her. To save each other—or claim each other—they'll have to face the town's oldest sin before it swallows them whole. CURSE THE COWBOY is a forbidden age-gap small-town dark romance blazing with witchcraft, obsession, and a hero who learns to speak only one name. Expect danger, devotion, and heat hot enough to set the prairie on fire.
