Synopsis

He lived through ages with the curse of attracting women...who end up dead... One upon a time, he was the most handsome of princes, destined for great things. But now he's a lonely legend, hobbled by a dark history. With too many dead in his wake, Bluebeard escapes the only way he knows how--through the evil spell of alcohol. But it's a far different kind of spell that's been ruining his life for centuries. How will she survive this killer Prince Charming? Jodi Walters is a fixer, someone who can put magic back in order. She's the best in Hollywood at her game. But Blue has a problem she's never encountered before--and worse, she finds herself perilously attractived to him.
