Kidnapping with benefits.
Karis is the arrogant young prodigy of the Radiant Order, and his talent gets him plenty of attention but very few friends. Under the order's prying eyes, there's one secret Karis has to hide at all costs: the meddling, un-paladin-like voice in his head. Sometimes the voice is helpful. Sometimes it gets him into trouble.
This time, trouble's name is Ronan.
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 a lot more complicated than he expected.
Between escape attempts and counterspells, Karis keeps getting under Ronan's skin, and Ronan keeps getting inside Karis's head. And 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 an MM fantasy romance, with enemies to lovers, hurt/comfort, and Very Inconvenient divine intervention. This paperback edition also includes the post-epilogue short story Long Distance.
