Life in the slums comes with one simple message: you are weak, you are alone, and nobody cares enough to save you. To survive, nameless children are forced to steal what they can, learn what they can and pray to whatever gods will take them that luck is on their side as they dream of a life beyond the walls.

Being clever in a time where women were taught to sit on their hands has always plagued Jane 'Little J' Alcott. She has always been laughed at and has learned to accept that she will never reach her full potential ... until now. When her brother thinks up a brilliant plan, Little J begins to stretch her legs in the world of academia, a world only privy to men. And one man in particular, has caught her eye.

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.

The most hypnotizing scent hit my nose . It smelt like fresh rain and honey. I looked up only to find the most gorgeous man I have ever laid my eyes on. His shirt hugged him, complimenting his biceps and well defined 6 pack. I'm sorry did I say 6 pack? I meant to say 8 pack. Damn. Those abs. His eyes snapped to mine and I immediately got lost in them. " Mate" my wolf Rydia said " Go to mate , Mate will help us" We stared at each other and I got lost in his crystal clear sea blue eyes that were light and an emotion flashed through them before I could try and decipher it. They suddenly became hard and he looked away and started talking to one of my captors. He's going to save us right? I thought, His next comment shattered me in a million pieces. " Kill her" ***********************************
