The Curse Says We’re Married (Married by Magic Book 1)

I didn’t wake up planning to get married.

Definitely not before coffee.
And absolutely not to the quiet apothecary owner across the street.

But Glowmere doesn’t ask permission.

When a legacy marriage curse binds Lilah Calder to Caleb Rowe, the town treats it like an inconvenience—something to be fixed quietly and efficiently. Lilah expects chaos, awkward proximity, and a quick solution.

What she gets instead is a bond that feels real.
A man who chooses her without hesitation.
And glowing fireflies that seem to know when the truth is being buried.

As cursed marriages across Glowmere begin to unravel—spilling decades of suppressed grief and secrets into the open—Lilah uncovers the town’s darkest truth:

Glowmere survives by feeding on love.

And when the magic starts to fail, the town decides her marriage is expendable.

Forced to choose between the people who raised her and the man who chose her freely, Lilah must decide whether tradition is worth sacrificing love or if some systems deserve to burn.
