'An unputdownable fairy tale' Kerri Maniscalco, New York Times bestselling author of Kingdom of the Wicked

From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Caraval series, the first book in a new series about love, curses, and the lengths that people will go to for happily ever after.

For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in happily ever after. Until she learns that the love of her life is about to marry another, and her dreams are shattered.

Desperate to stop the wedding, and heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing.

But after Evangeline's first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game - and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after, or the most exquisite tragedy . . .

The most deliciously moody, romantic, and enchanting tale awaits. Once Upon a Broken Heart is a captivating tale, perfect for lovers of romantic fantasy ― LoveReading.co.uk

I found it hard to put down and my panic grew as I drew closer to the end of the book with more questions than answers. I found myself needing the sequel and pouting quite a bit that it's going to be a long wait until we see what's next for Evangeline, Jacks and the Northern Court ― Reach Plc (MyLondon)

I love how it takes the age-old trope of true love's kiss and twists it, and I love how the 'deal with a devil' theme is carried out in a fresh way. However, what I love most is the fairy-tale setting of 'the North', which is somehow portrayed as being magical and unusual, yet also as normal real life. It produces a whimsical backdrop with sharp-edged undertones that perfectly complements the main character and her tangled situation ― British Fantasy Society
