Knights of Valor
9 primary works
Book 1
What you don't trust can't betray you, but it can still break your heart.
Haunted by a tragedy he couldn't prevent and hounded by a duty he never wanted, Crown Prince Eli of Tamryn is a cold shell of a man with a stone for a heart. But, whether his subjects like it or not, he will soon be their king. All he needs to ascend the throne is the Dragon God's blessing and the approval of the Dragon Church.
There's only one small problem: the god is silent, and the church wants him dead. Well, there is one other problem—the slightly confusing matter of how he somehow acquired a slave girl who will do anything to win her freedom. A slave girl he has no intention of falling in love no matter how beautiful, kind or intelligent she is.
When Eli uncovers a plot to seize the throne, driven by a forbidden cult of dark worship, he must protect a church that hates him and a god he thinks has forsaken him. Duty runs headlong into the newly awakened needs of his heart, and with treachery before him and enslavement behind, no choice is good. Old secrets reveal new lies, and betrayal will bring a man, a crown, and a kingdom to the very brink of war.

Book 2
Ice queens can’t be hurt because they have no feelings. They also can’t fall in love…or so they tell themselves.
Having to pretend everything is fine after being jilted by the crown prince was bad enough, but now, Lady Daniella is being exiled to a distant castle 'to recover.' Except, her exile happens to include an order from the king to investigate the murder of the castle's former owner, the old Duke of Westlake. At least she’d never been in love with the old Duke of Westlake. Too bad she can’t say the same thing about his brother, the dashing heir apparent just returned from battle.
But facing down an awkward childhood crush who is just as determined as she is to unravel the mystery is the least of Daniella’s worries.
Someone in the shadows is watching her. Someone who doesn't want to her to solve this murder. Someone that’s already killed once to buy silence. Someone who will force Daniella to choose whether love will be what defeats her or the only thing that could save her…if only she will let it.

Book 3
What would it take for you to make the devil’s own bargain?
The vampires hunting Brelynn are the least of her worries. Not even the demons stalking her are enough to convince her to make the bargain. But to prevent her master from capturing her again, she’ll do anything, including make a pact with the King of Tamryn and the Knight of Valor he sends to fetch her. A Knight of Valor that eradicates all that is unholy in his path, including her, if she’s not careful. But he’s the only man that can destroy her master. The only man that can truly free her. And the only man that can win her heart.
Sir Marcus Valerian is the Knight of Valor who slew a lich, freed a nation, and came home a broken man. The Dragon Church wants him to retire. The Tamryn people want him to be their legend. He just wants a purpose again and accepts a mission from the king. The mission wasn't supposed to involve destroying vampires, demons, and necromancers. But those aren't the hard part. Reminding himself a man like him can never fall in love is.
As another lich rises, Sir Marcus and Brelynn must decide how much they'll risk, how much they'll give, to save the land and for their own chance at love.

Book 4
What secrets are okay to bury to save the life of a child? A town? A province? And who will pay the price when those secrets are unearthed?
Sir York buried his noble title and his past to join the Knights of Valor. He then accepted the most difficult of assignments to prove his dedication: rebuild the war-torn province of Marren. But the annual harvest is the least of his worries as a powerful and ancient evil threatens to consume all in it's path, including every soul in Marren. When a beautiful but reclusive mage saves his life, Sir York will do anything to win her help to save Marren. Anything but fall in love with her.
Tessa couldn’t care less about Marren. Or so she tells herself. But they need her magic to survive, and so does Sir York, a man far too handsome, too charismatic, and too blessed by the gods. After all she's endured, the last thing she needs is to fall in love with someone that will break her heart as surely as he will. Especially if he ever learns the truth about who she really is.
Just when it seems the people of Marren may actually stand a chance, unearthed secrets lead to a dead woman and a holy inquisition. Now, neither Sir York's blade nor Tessa's magic is enough to save them all. As darkness descends, Sir York and Tessa must face their pasts and risk everything, including their hearts, before the ancient evil devours them all.

Book 5
When is a lie not a lie, but the truth that will set you free?
Sapphire has no illusions about marriage. With as muddied a lineage as hers, only nobles looking to replenish their coffers with her fortune would consider marrying her. Of course she has to fall in love with a Knight of Valor and senior member of the Dragon Church. Exactly the kind of man she could never have.
Sir Matthias was born the son of a farmer, but the gods recognized his devotion and blessed him with Their divine grace. His hard work propelled him up the ranks of the Knights of Valor. Now he needs to marry well, and that doesn’t include the enchanting and flamboyant heiress that is as unsuitable as she is unattainable.
Sapphire’s grandfather has no intention of losing control of her or her fortune by allowing her to marry just anyone. When he arranges a match between her and an earl suspected of killing his first wife, Sapphire will do anything, strike any bargain, to escape the fate her grandfather has planned for her. Including proposing a sham marriage to the one man she loves.

Book 6
What do you do when the one thing you most want is the one thing you can’t have?
Ten summers ago, Jade made a mistake and fell in love with the wrong man. An earl’s son so less. But she atoned for her sin and even earned a position in the king’s elite bodyguard. Well, almost earned it. Her last task before entering and giving up her identity forever is to solve the murder of a wealthy and influential countess… who just so happened to marry the man Jade still loves.
Logan Warrington, Seventh Earl of Farron, has always done what he’s supposed to do, including marry the “right” woman from the “right” family, which hadn’t included the carriage driver’s daughter he’d been infatuated with as a boy. But when he’s framed for the murder of his wife, Logan gets a second chance with that carriage driver’s daughter, and Jade might be the only one that can prove his innocence.
But second chances aren’t free, and those who killed the countess will stop at nothing to keep their secrets. As the killers close in, it will take all of Jade’s skill as a bodyguard to keep Logan alive, and even if she does, nothing can close the gap between earl and servant. Nothing, except maybe love.

But the past doesn't forget, and as old enemies threaten to destroy them, Leikar and Annabelle have to make the ultimate choice. Can they embrace love and forgive the past, or will they be swallowed by the darkness?

As the forces of darkness close in on them, only together can Alexander and Rebecca save her brother and end the threat stalking her. But first, they both have to accept the gods’ gift of love.
