The Paladin's Shadow (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798330286621)

Kidnapping with benefits.

Karis is a prodigy, the youngest squire in the Radiant Order. His magical talent wins him too much attention, because Karis has a secret to hide: the meddling, un-paladin-like voice in his head.

Ronan's done more for the gods than any paladin, but an insidious conspiracy means he's the wanted criminal. Fine by Ronan. When he's captured by the corrupt Radiant Order, Ronan doesn't think twice before kidnapping a cute little squire to cover his escape.

His new hostage is more complicated than expected.

Between escape attempts and counterspells, Karis keeps getting under Ronan's skin, and Ronan keeps getting inside Karis's head. The longer they stay together, Karis starts thinking less about escaping, and more about how Ronan might taste.

But the conspiracy they're tangled in is far deadlier than they know.

The Paladin's Shadow is a gay fantasy romance, with enemies to lovers, hurt/comfort, and Very Inconvenient divine intervention. This hardcover edition also includes the post-epilogue short story Long Distance.
