Paladin's Strength (The Saint of Steel Book 2)

A Nun, A Paladin, and a Very Dangerous Journey

Istvhan is a paladin of the god who died. Like his brothers-in-arms, he's trying to find his place in a world that no longer needs holy warriors. When he's assigned to escort a nun on a dangerous journey, he expects a quiet, pious woman. What he gets is Sister Clara - a battle nun with a sharp tongue, a sharper sword, and absolutely no patience for his protective instincts.

Demons, Conspiracies, and Inconvenient Feelings

Their mission seems simple enough: travel to a distant city and investigate reports of demonic activity. But nothing is ever simple when paladins are involved. As they journey together, fighting demons and unraveling a conspiracy that threatens the kingdom, Istvhan finds himself falling for the fierce, independent nun who definitely doesn't need rescuing.

Clara, meanwhile, is dealing with her own demons - both literal and figurative - and the last thing she needs is a brooding paladin making her feel things she's tried very hard not to feel.
