Welcome to the Book Hooks Blog Hop, in which authors share excerpts from their books.
This excerpt is from my upcoming science fiction romance Warrior Priest, and it skips ahead from last week’s. Jade is escorting Selena and her guard, Franklin, to the refugee camp where he’s stationed when not out on assignments. During the flight, she discovers some things about his past, and also asks about the meaning of the Warrior Priests’ title.
Don’t forget to check out more excerpts from authors in the MFRW Book Hooks Blog Hop.

Warrior Priest:
by Kate Hill
Science Fiction Romance
“I have a question about your title.” She looked toward Jade. “As far as I know, Ari isn’t a word in your common language, so where is it from and what does it mean? Is it like father or brother?”
“Ari means ‘Shield of Heaven’ in the ancient language of our religion. It’s one of the only translations we’re allowed to share with those outside our Order.”
“Shield of Heaven,” she murmured.
Franklin raised an eyebrow. “Pardon my language, but that’s one hell of a burden.”
“No, it’s a privilege.”
Blurb:
What happens when a warrior priest from a strict religion meets a free-spirited priestess from a new age commune?
Jade and Selena are as different as two people can be, but to facilitate an alliance between their worlds, they engage in a cultural exchange. With their galaxy in danger from a planet that wants to conquer or destroy all others, they realize the importance of their assignment, but it is difficult for a warrior priest and a nonviolent priestess to understand each other.
Selena is both attracted and appalled by his old school masculinity, and Jade is tempted to break his vow of celibacy until marriage due to his powerful desire for her. Will this unlikely pair not only find common ground, but unconditional love?
