Thank you for stopping by!<\/p>\n
by Kate Hill<\/p>\n \u201cHey, Selena, I\u2019m sorry I can\u2019t finish the assignment,\u201d Franklin said, his words slow and his expression dazed from medication.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t worry about it.\u201d She patted his shoulder.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re sending another guard?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe world leader wanted to, but I told her it\u2019s not necessary. I feel quite safe with Ari Jade, providing that works for you, Jade?\u201d<\/p>\n He glanced at her, a strange feeling in his gut. She trusted him enough to be alone for the rest of their visit, even after he\u2019d brought her to this island where she\u2019d nearly been killed.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll guard you with my life.\u201d<\/p>\n She held his gaze. \u201cI know that. And it\u2019s a sign of good faith on both our parts.\u201d<\/p>\n Jade nodded.<\/p>\n Two doctor\u2019s assistants approached.<\/p>\n One said, \u201cAll right, Franklin. Ready to go?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHey, Jade.\u201d Franklin caught Jade\u2019s wrist and held his gaze. \u201cTake care of Selena.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou have my word.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t just mean guard her. Take care of her. One soldier to another, she\u2019s not like you and me, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n Jade rested a hand on Franklin\u2019s shoulder. \u201cI know. Heal fast.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNext time you see me, I\u2019ll be running again.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI believe you.\u201d<\/p>\n Jade stepped back, and Selena bent to hug Franklin. \u201cThank you so much for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLike I said, it\u2019s my duty. Listen to him, Selena, even if he sounds like a damn drill instructor and you feel like punching him in the jaw.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI will. I mean I\u2019ll try to listen to him, but I won\u2019t punch him. It\u2019s against my religion.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo that\u2019s the only reason?\u201d Jade raised an eyebrow.<\/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 Ebook Purchase Links: Amazon<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Apple Books<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Barnes & Noble<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0kobo<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0\u00a0Smashwords<\/a><\/p>\n Paperback Purchase Link:\u00a0Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Powered by Linky Tools<\/b><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/warriorpriestbookcover200x300.jpg\")
