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.

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.…

Once a Paladin trainee, Lady Samantha of Haywood -- Sam -- has been named a traitor to king and country by the Paladins' High Commander, with a bounty set on her head. Only Sam and her friends know what the people of Thule do not: the High Commander is no ordinary man but something more--something evil.

They must return to Thule and warn the Uriel...before it's too late.…

WARNING: EXPLICIT MATERIAL (RATED R)Hi guys! This is a total silly outlet for me to write Paladin "extras" - scenes that have absolutely no chance of ever making it into the actual story of Paladin, but make me - and hopefully you, too - giggle or swoon. This is not meant to be read as a companion guide, since anything I write here is not a reflection of the "real" story of Paladin. Please note the quality of this writing is likely to be, to quote Tristan, complete shite. And this is not intended for young readers, although I will try to give each "chapter" or scene an accurate rating so you can decide whether or not you want to give it a go.…
