Imara Parker is running from a curse that is supposed to kill her before she's 25. When she moves to a new safehouse, a young farmer (werewolf) named Ben delivers food to her, and they realize they are mates. Her brother tries to keep them apart but eventually gives in, and they get married. Things go well for a while, but Nightmares of Imara's death plague ben. One day he comes home to find a strange man at his kitchen table, realizes his family is dead, and the stranger curses him to relive his torment over and over for eternity, then kills Ben. Fifty years later, Ben wakes up in a house that doesn't belong to him, recovering from the stab wound that killed him. As he's leaving, he comes face to face with Imara and her brother again. Ben and Imara have blocked out their traumatic memories and don't realize they are mates. But her brother remembers and hires Ben to be Imara's bodyguard. Ben eventually remembers and vows to never allow Imara to remember or to let her love him, thinking he's the curse. Imara eventually remembers as well and is so heartbroken over what happens that she is inconsolable. They both die again, but while Imara is in the spirit world, she is given magic knives but the Darke King, who happens to be Ben's ancestor. With her new tool against their enemy, Imara returns fifty years later and is reunited with Ben; they train to defeat the man that cursed them. Ben is able to defeat the warlock, then goes in search of Imara in the magical world; they live happily ever after.

Cursed (The Broken Immortals Book 2)

/"I don’t like this at all, Imara./" Thorin skimmed his fingers down his neck. /"Was biting you really necessary?/"

After she stacked the dishes on the shelf in front of her, she wiped her hands on a towel. /"It’s nothing./"

/"Mmm!/" He twisted his lips and shook his head at the still healing mark on her neck. /"What a miserable rite of passage./"

The Healer’s fingers slid across the bite, and it disappeared. /"See, all better./"

His green eyes rolled across the ceiling as Thorin clicked his tongue and wagged his finger at her. /"My dear, you can use all the glamours in your arsenal, but that thing must hurt something terrible./"

She shook her head as she tried to downplay the situation, but she couldn’t exactly come out and say every time he touched it, a mind-numbing orgasm gripped her. /"Actually, no, not at all. It’s funny, but he can read my thoughts now. A little bit anyway./"
