The Scarletti Curse: A Dark and Mesmerizing Gothic Romance in a Cursed Italian Palazzo
by Christine Feehan
About this book
High above the storm-lashed cliffs of Italy, the Scarletti palazzo stands as a monument to ancient secrets and blood-chilling legends. For generations, the family has been bound by a lethal curse: every bride who enters their ancestral home is destined to leave in a funeral shroud. It is a place of gargoyles, twisted stone, and a shadow that hungers for the light.
Nicoletta, a woman gifted with miraculous healing powers, has long avoided the grasp of the powerful Scarletti line. She prides herself on her independence, believing no man could ever command her spirit. However, when the enigmatic Don Scarletti gazes into her soul with eyes that reflect centuries of torment, she realizes she is no longer in control. Claimed by the Don under an ancient right, she is drawn into a marriage of duty and a passion that defies reason.
This mesmerizing historical paranormal romance masterfully blends gothic atmosphere with the intense allure of shifter lore. It is a haunting tale of unconditional love serving as the only weapon against a crushing evil. If you are searching for a dark, evocative read where heart-stopping desire meets supernatural stakes, this unforgettable story will leave you breathless.

I really love The Scarletti Curse, having reread it for more than 5 times I believe. The pacing is good, with enough action, excitement and unconditional love (a necessity to destroy the evil curse at work). The book starts with village girl Nicoletta being summoned to accompany the village \"healer\" Maria Pia, who raised Nicoletta since her mother's death, to the Scarletti Palazzo. They keep this charade to prevent the people at the palazzo knowing about Nicoletta's extraordinary healing...
