<\/p>\n Warrior Priest:<\/strong><\/p>\n by Kate Hill<\/p>\n Science Fiction Romance<\/p>\n \u201cOh, Mother Sun. Jade.\u201d Selena dropped the first aid kit and fell to her knees beside it. She covered her face with her hands. \u201cWhat did I do?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll tell you what you did. You backed me up against enemies. You were great.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n She glared at him through tear-blurred eyes. \u201cI killed people. That\u2019s<\/strong> \u201cYou didn\u2019t kill people. They weren\u2019t even real.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDid you know that?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cNo, I didn\u2019t know that. Do you think I\u2019d have been fighting for my life if I\u2019d known that? I felt those wounds when they happened.\u201d He wiped sweat from his eyes and glanced around. \u201cWe have to get out of here. This place is doing something to our heads, and I\u2019m done with it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Selena heard his words, but they didn\u2019t fully register. How could she have killed people?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m supposed to find peaceful solutions to problems, not smash people in the head with rocks like a cavewoman.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cSometimes you can\u2019t find peaceful solutions. Selena, they were trying to kill us. Had this been real, they might have killed me if you hadn\u2019t helped. I would have expected that from one of my brothers. We spend our lives training to react like you did\u2014to protect each other and others, but you did it instinctively. You could have squeezed through that cave and run, but you didn\u2019t. You stayed and fought alongside me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n His observations horrified her. \u201cIt\u2019s even worse than I thought. You train to use violence, but you\u2019re saying I just do it instinctively. What the hell does that say about me?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt says I can trust you to have my back.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n He was right. She hadn\u2019t started fighting until he\u2019d been almost overwhelmed by Kimbrian soldiers. When one had attacked her, she hadn\u2019t even considered splitting his skull with a rock.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n He stared at her, dumbfounded. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter that you tried to save my life?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t you get it, Jade? That\u2019s beside the point.\u201d She stood, angry again. Rage. Violence. These were all things that hadn\u2019t touched her life until she\u2019d met him. \u201cMy religion doesn\u2019t allow violence. Not for any reason.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Still kneeling, he studied her carefully while she paced. Selena considered herself a grounded woman, but at the moment, confusion and guilt overwhelmed her. <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis was a test.\u201d She stopped walking and closed her eyes. \u201cAnd I failed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n What happens when a warrior priest from a strict religion meets a free-spirited priestess from a new age commune?<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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?<\/p>\n Pre-Order Links:\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Apple Books<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Barnes & Noble<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0kobo<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0\u00a0Smashwords<\/a>\u00a0\/<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Powered by Linky Tools<\/b><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/warriorpriestbookcover200x300.jpg\")
