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)

The snooty butler tipped his head to the man at the door. /"Mr. Haldir, so nice to see you again./"

The handsome blonde stranger with a fresh scar over his eye and a raspy Norweigian accent slipped through the doorway and slapped his hand on Aster’s back. /"How the hell are you, Aster?/"

/"Excellent, sir./" His fingers bent as he crossed the foyer. /"Please follow me. Mr. Parker and Miss Imara are in the back garden./"

While Aster led him through the kitchen hall on his way to the home’s courtyard, the Immortal picked up an apple from a bowl at the counter and wiped it off on his striped shirt.

Aster left him at the door, and he waved his hand at the group waiting by the pool.

Haldir wrapped his arm around Imara and kissed her temple. /"Hey, kiddo. How are you getting along?/"
