You know this story: a monstrous beast, a cursed castle, a beauty who stumbles into a fate not her own. A love powerful enough to break an unbreakable spell.

But this is not quite the fairytale you remember.

Arabella has always hungered for adventure. When offered the chance to reside in a mysterious castle deep in the woods, she leaps at it—eager to meet the creature said to haunt its stone halls. The monster. Yet the Beast is not what the old tales claim. His golden eyes hold too many secrets. His growls soften into words. And the shadows that cling to him whisper of a past steeped in regret and ruin.

Henry was cursed to be forgotten—a prince turned into a creature, a kingdom left to decay. For years, he has endured exile within crumbling walls, certain no one could ever see past the monster he has become. Until Arabella: the defiant girl who challenges him, who refuses to cower, who speaks to him as if he’s still a man.

But curses are never easily broken, and desires are not so easily tamed. As the line between man and beast blurs, a darker force stirs beyond the castle walls—one that will not let Arabella go without a fight.

Step into a world of shimmering enchantment and smoldering passion in A Cursed Devotion, the fourth novella in Cleo Calloway’s Enchanted Desires series, where beloved fairytales take a seductive, spellbinding twist.
