Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

"S-sorry Mom I have to go now!" I said quickly, causing a low chuckle to sound from behind me, sending a shiver down my spine. "Ok hunny I love you, we'll be home soo-" I cut her off,"Ok love you too Mom bye!" I called out, ending the call and tossing my phone to the side. I gritted my teeth as I felt is tongue on my neck. I don't care how incredibly tempting it is to kiss him. He.Will.Not.Win. "Give in yet?" he whispered in my ear as his fingers trailed up and down the length of my arm. I shook my head, not trusting myself to speak. He placed a kiss just below my ear on my neck,"You will." *** Jaynalee Parks was as close to an average girl as you could get.
