***THIS BRAND-NEW HARDBACK EDITION FEATURES A STUNNING NEW PINK COVER TO MATCH THE MIRROR OF INFINITE ENDINGS*** HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR HAPPILY EVER AFTER? For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in happily ever after. Until she learnsthat 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 . . . From the No. 1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of Caraval, the Once Upon a Broken Heart series is a spellbinding romantic fantasy adventure about forbidden love, magic curses, and the lengths people will go to for happily ever after.
