 A Happily Everlasting Series Novel
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Welcome to Everlasting, Maine, where there’s no such thing as normal.
 
 
 Marcy Lewis is cursed (honestly and truly) which makes dating very interesting. With a string of loser boyfriends behind her, she's done looking for love in all the wrong places. That is until the new firefighter arrives in the sleepy seaside town of Everlasting. Nicholas Logan is unlike any other man she's ever had in her life. When someone starts sending her photographs that raise a red flag it soon becomes apparent that she's not just cursed, she's in serious danger.
 Nicholas doesn't know what to make of the charismatic young woman managing the local coffee shop. As a string of mysterious fires begin popping up around town, the two unite in search of clues as to who or what is responsible, discovering along the way that things are very rarely what they seem to be.

 Everlasting, Maine
 
 
 
 
 Marcy Lewis collected engagement rings like other women collected designer purses. She didn’t do it on purpose, and it wasn’t anything she bragged about. What woman would brag about being cursed to have her heart broken over and over again? It wasn’t that she merely had bad luck with men or only dated bad boys and made horrible choices. That would have been too easy. That she could have hired a therapist to deal with.
 No, she was honestly and truly cursed.
 Marcy was doomed to become whatever the man in her life thought he wanted, transforming her physical appearance and the dominant parts of her personality. If the man liked artists, the fact she had wanted to be the next Picasso in the third grade would emerge. If the man wanted an accountant, she found herself up in the middle of the night reading tax code. One man had a thing for the rodeo. Thank the heavens there had not been any nearby at the time, or she might have found herself on the wrong side of a bull.
 Marcy slipped an engagement ring off her finger and set it on the bathroom sink. The relationships always ended poorly. That was what had happened the night before. She came home from work to find her house in shambles. Her recent ex, Donnie Huff, had taken everything of value he could find. She would have called to report it, but the police wouldn’t get anything back, and trying would only prolong the suffering.
 “Hello, officer,” she mumbled sarcastically, “I’m cursed, and my ex stole my collection of engagement rings. Can you please go arrest him for being a jerk?”
 A grumpy meow answered her as if protesting her sour mood.
 “Point taken, Mr. Monty,” Marcy answered the cat
