Cursed Boys and Broken Hearts

In this queer contemporary romance, a love-cursed teen is roped into spending his summer restoring a dilapidated B&B … only to meet his childhood crush once again.

“The perfect blend of romance, regrets, and enchanted roses … that’ll keep you rooting for love on every page.”—Jason June, New York Times bestselling author of Jay's Gay Agenda

“Cursed Boys and Broken Hearts had my gay Midwest heart bursting at the seams.”—Robbie Couch, New York Times bestselling author of If I See You Again Tomorrow

Grant Rossi is never getting a happily-ever-after.

Ever since he was a kid and made a wish on his family’s iconic Wishing Rose, his romantic relationships have been cursed to end. Following his most recent (and extremely public) dumping, Grant is languishing in a hot Chicago summer, abandoning his beloved design projects to sink back into depression. But when his family suggests spending the summer helping his aunt and uncle refurbish their beautiful but run-down B&B and vineyard—the home of the Wishing Rose that changed everything for him—Grant decides to accept. Maybe he can finally find a way to recover his creative spark … and break his curse.

But things at the vineyard are not what Grant expects. The place is in almost total disrepair, and, even worse, the person his relatives hired to help is his former childhood crush, Ben—the first boy who broke his heart.

As their chemistry sparks and the summer heats up, the wedge between them can’t be ignored. But while they race to restore the B&B in time for the beloved local rose festival, grumpy but lovable Ben starts to break through Grant’s carefully crafted defenses. Can Grant find a way to overcome his curse and open his heart, even when it’s broken?
