The Duke of Death and His Maid

As a boy, the duke fell victim to a witch’s curse that doomed any living being he touched to die. Unable to endure raising such a blighted child, his family banished him to a remote old mansion. Now a young man, his only companions are an aging butler and his childhood friend, Alice—a buxom, blonde maid who serves at his side. Though physical contact with the duke is invariably fatal, Alice constantly tests his composure, drawing near and flirting with reckless abandon. Yet for all her teasing and delight in making him fluster, her affection for him is wholly sincere. Can the two of them ever discover a way to break the witch’s spell?
