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.

Ever tried spending days with someone you're supposed to despise? Well, meet Brenda Hoffman. She works for a company that tours their staff annually for at least a week of "fun", and of course, some work relation, to anywhere that's surrounded by nature. Then there's Jack Nicoles. The overbearing CEO of that company. These two apparently hate each other's guts because of a troubling incident that occurred months ago, and they have never been on good terms since then. Jack blames Brenda for that misfortune and Brenda blames Jack for being so naïve. But when they get abandoned by their bus driver on their way to the annual retreat site on an unknown mountain with nothing but their backpacks, maps, and each other's company, they are forced to cooperate with each other in order to escape in one piece. Can they cope with each other and let go of the past that seems to linger in every part of their lives, just so they can move on together? Or will they go on behaving like immature nitwits and stay stranded for who knows how long? ☆~☆~☆ Highest Rank: #6 in Humor ☆~☆~☆ Awesome cover by @TheTigerWriter Do not duplicate under any means.
