Prince Murdock’s heart is the prize of the princess tests, and someone’s out to steal it—fatally.
Prince Murdock—Dox—must marry by his twenty-fifth birthday a month away, but with no bride in sight and fake princesses in abundance, his eccentric fairy godparents arrange a series of princess tests to help him find true love with a true princess. Though worried about what tests his godparents will concoct, Dox is much more comfortable scoring a test than risking falling for a pretty face with a black heart. His kingdom depends on his good sense, after all.
Cursed with a heart of glass and a prophecy of doom, Princess Blythe has spent her life terrified of bumps, falls, sudden temperature changes, and falling in love. When a mad scientist intent on studying her one-of-a-kind heart forces her to flee the medical academy where she’s a student, she’s determined to do whatever is necessary to return home. But the coachman who helps her escape isn’t who he seems, and the fae-enchantress who cursed her is looking to break more than a heart—she’s planning to break kingdoms.
Blythe must decide whether to cling to her fears and her cushions and continue home or risk falls, life, and love to save kingdoms—and maybe win a prince’s hand in marriage. Will the prince break her heart, or will she win his?
Of Curses and Hearts is a standalone, humorous retelling of “The Princess and the Pea.” It is part of the Curse Keeper, Curse Breaker series—short, fun fairytale retellings with clean romance and a dash of danger.
