Curse My Heart and Hope to Lie

A standalone romance by Holland Ashby

She cursed the wrong liar.

Ramona Stroud meant to punish her cheating ex. Instead, one drunken folk spell leaves her incapable of telling a lie—to her advisor, her fellowship committee, or Wells Wilson, the academic rival she can't stop wanting.

If Ramona doesn't break the curse before Halloween, her brutal honesty becomes permanent. Which would be easier to manage if her career-making fellowship weren't days away—and if the psychology department hadn't paired her with Wells to investigate the famous research her dissertation depends on.

Wells is grumpy, brilliant, and competing for the same funding. He's also maddeningly considerate, dangerously attractive, and the first man who seems to prefer Ramona without the agreeable mask she's spent a lifetime perfecting.

Now late-night research sessions are turning into involuntary confessions, and their chemistry is becoming impossible to dismiss. The curse can only be broken by love freely spoken.

Ramona has until midnight on Halloween to tell the truth that could set her free.

But what if the man she loves is hiding the one secret she can't forgive?
