What This Collection Covers:
Across these three novels, Garber charts a compelling arc of desire, risk, and consequence. Evangeline’s longing for a guaranteed happily-ever-after collides with a perilous truth: magic can shape outcomes, but it cannot erase the costs that come with inserting yourself into fate. The Ballad of Never After deepens the romance by testing trust after betrayal, weaving in the Prince of Hearts as a figure who is both temptation and temptation’s price. A Curse For True Love pivots toward a darker lattice of power, where marriage, loyalty, and the very idea of true love are put under the microscope. Readers will savor Garber’s lyrical storytelling, the candy-sweet surface of fantasy, and the sharper, darker undertones that make each turn of the page feel inevitable and surprising at once.

Book-by-Book Guide:
Once Upon A Broken Heart opens the trio with Evangeline Fox’s belief in happily-ever-after and a heart that won’t settle for anything less. When she discovers that love can be negotiated with the charismatic yet dangerous Prince of Hearts, she makes a fraught deal—three kisses, delivered at his choosing, in exchange for saving a wedding she cannot bear to witness. The stakes are personal and magical, as rival loyalties, cunning foes, and a landscape of enchantment push Evangeline toward choices that might redefine her future. Garber builds a fast-paced, romance-forward tale that sets the tone for the series: wonder, risk, and a love that asks more of you than you expect. The Ballad of Never After picks up after a betrayal that cuts deep. Jacks—the Prince of Hearts—has made a promise that reshapes Evangeline’s world, and she discovers a new surge of magic within herself. The narrative tightens as love, trust, and heartbreak collide, forcing Evangeline to weigh what she’s willing to sacrifice for a chance at the future she’s always wanted. The mood shifts from bright wonder to ominous yearning, with Garber layering emotional resonance over twists that keep readers guessing. It’s a story about resilience, the cost of desire, and how the bravest move can be to gamble everything again for someone you love. A Curse For True Love closes the set with Evangeline navigating a gilded Northumberland castle existence that looks perfect from the outside but hides a dangerous bargain. Her husband’s intentions loom large, and the looming threat to Jacks—the very core of her world—forces Evangeline to confront what she’s willing to lose. The tension tightens into a weaponized romance, where loyalty is tested, allies waver, and the line between fairy-tale magic and grim reality becomes blurred. Garber crafts an ending that feels both generous and unflinching, rewarding readers who’ve followed Evangeline’s journey with emotional payoff, clever reversals, and a sense of closure that still sparkles with magic.
