One enchanting romance. Two lovers keeping secrets. And a uniquely crafted book that binds their stories forever.

When Evelyn Morgan walked into the village bookstore, she didn t know she would meet the love of her life. When Brendan Thorne handed her a medieval romance, he didn t know it would change the course of his future. It was almost as if they were the cursed lovers in the old book itself . . .

The Thorn and the Blossom is a remarkable literary artifact: You can open the book in either direction to decide whether you ll first read Brendan s, or Evelyn s account of the mysterious love affair. Choose a side, read it like a regular novel and when you get to the end, you ll find yourself at a whole new beginning.
