The Curse of Falling for You: When magic messes with your love life

Elias has carried embarrassment for as long as he can remember. The curse that twists his words into rhymes shows up at the worst moments, so he keeps his head down and avoids notice. But one slip at the market turns into a scene laughter rings out, sharp and stinging. Except from one man.

Adrian is new to town, an outsider with a different view. While others see a joke, he catches something else: quick wit, sharp resilience, and a man who refuses to break. His laughter isn’t cruel it’s warm, steady, the kind that softens the edges of shame.

What follows is chaos and closeness mishaps at the harvest fair, quiet talks under lantern light, truths long buried finally breaking free. Elias knows how fast kindness can vanish, and fear tells him to push Adrian away before it happens again. Yet Adrian stays, proving love doesn’t arrive in spite of flaws but because of them.

Will Elias believe the man who sees beauty in the curse he’s always hated?

Part of the Otherworldly Hearts series, this story brings its own magical twist to love and laughter.

Otherworldly Hearts proves romance can bloom anywhere through time, across magic, even out among the stars. This clean MM romcom series pairs oddball characters with laugh-out-loud disasters and tender connections in worlds where the impossible feels almost ordinary.

Spells backfire, ghosts meddle, shifters wrestle instincts they’d rather ignore, and aliens stumble their way through the messy art of love. Each standalone story mixes comedy, warmth, and a romance that stays sweet but never boring.

Sometimes the strangest places lead to the most unexpected happily ever afters.
