He needs a kiss to stay human . .. her kisses are poison. Robert, Duke of Pondleigh, already has one curse, so what’s another one? Or two? If only these things involved fighting monsters—or even being turned into one—he’d be fine. But attempting to force him into marrying the woman who nearly killed him by cursing him to either gain a lady’s kiss each day or become a frog, simply isn’t gentlemanly... moreHe needs a kiss to stay human . .. her kisses are poison. Robert, Duke of Pondleigh, already has one curse, so what’s another one? Or two? If only these things involved fighting monsters—or even being turned into one—he’d be fine. But attempting to force him into marrying the woman who nearly killed him by cursing him to either gain a lady’s kiss each day or become a frog, simply isn’t gentlemanly. The fact the princess he’s been in love with for years won’t even answer his letters, much less see him, doesn’t help his chances of freedom. Princess Snow has excellent reasons for going into hiding at the Cottage for Retired Enchanters deep in the New Grimmland forests, reasons like a terrible secret and an overprotective stepmother. When Robert, the duke she thought had forgotten her, shows up as a frog, he seems to think she’s his curse breaker, but Snow knows better: her kisses are poison. With wit and clean romance, Cursed for Keeps is a mashup retelling of “The Frog Prince” and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. ” It comes after Midnight for a Curse in the Curse Keeper, Curse Breaker series, but can be read as a standalone novel. less

Prince Murdock’s heart is the prize of the princess tests, and someone’s out to steal it—fatally.

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?
