***THIS BRAND-NEW HARDBACK EDITION FEATURES A STUNNING NEW PINK COVER TO MATCH THE MIRROR OF INFINITE ENDINGS***

HAPPY ENDINGS CAN BE CAUGHT, BUT THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO HOLD ON TO . . .

After Jacks, the Prince of Hearts, betrays her, Evangeline Fox swears she'll never trust him again.
Now that she's discovered her own magic, Evangeline believes she can use it to restore the chance at happily ever after that Jacks stole away.

But when a new terrifying curse is revealed, Evangeline finds herself entering into a tenuous partnership with the Prince of Hearts again. Except this time, the rules have changed. Jacks isn't the only force she needs to be wary of. In fact, he might be the only one she can trust, despite her desire to despise him.

Instead of a love spell wreaking havoc on Evangeline's life, a murderous spell has been cast. To break it, Evangeline and Jacks will have to do battle with old friends, new foes, and a magic that plays with heads and hearts. Evangeline has always trusted her heart, but this time she's not so sure . . .

From the No. 1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of Caraval, the Once Upon a Broken Heart series is a spellbinding romantic fantasy adventure about forbidden love, magic curses, and the lengths people will go to for happily ever after.
