Curse of Swan Lake Pearl Burns Brown

?On the day she weds she will die!? Jolene, the infant princess of Defornia, is cursed by a wicked aunt, who covets her magical throne. Within moments her father is murdered and her mother flees in horror, hiding the child in America. Twenty years later, Jolene becomes engaged to businessman Robert Moss, forcing her widowed mother to divulge the heartbreaking secret of the curse. Shattered by the confession, Jolene is most horrified by a spell that will end her life, should she marry the man she loves. Determined to win, Jolene and her mother return to the Village outside of England on a quest to banish the curse, allowing Jolene the freedom to enjoy the culmination of love, marriage. Only one person truly comprehends the danger they?re facing, the reigning prince of Defornia. Upon their arrival in the village, he promptly orders the women be brought to the magical kingdom and the believed safety of his castle. When they finally meet, shock and anger rise at his deception. Without shame he warns, Jolene must quickly learn her powers to protect the kingdom from an evil that wants them all dead? Few things made a man the size of Papis Stone wince. Having Princess Jolene outside the protection of Defornia was more than dangerous. The evil that wanted her throne wouldn?t stop at annihilating the village to get it. A Soldier of the Defense Force he would lay down his life to protect the princess and her people. Though, she wouldn?t know it, he?d already laid down his heart. Praying deeply, he begged for the means and strength to protect her when the fierce battle of the elements commenced?
