 A Noble Purpose (Cornerstone Series)

To help her miserable sister, Princess Liesel must survive the elements, danger...and her grumpy guard.

Princess Liesel's older sister, Verena, hasn't smiled in years. Desperate to improve her low spirits, the king declares that the man who can make Verena laugh will earn her hand in marriage.

But his plan seems doomed to failure from the start. Each unsuccessful attempt only makes Verena more despondent, and a set of mysterious masked suitors raises suspicions about a plot by an enemy prince. When Liesel discovers her sister still harbors feelings for a guard who was sent away years before, she embarks on a desperate quest to find him, both for the sake of Verena's future happiness and their kingdom's safety.

As increasingly dangerous challenges hinder Liesel's journey, she begins to wonder if they're more than coincidence. Will she and her travel companions even make it to Verena's former guard, let alone convince him to return with them? 

With each impediment drawing her closer to her own surly knight, more than just her sister's happily-ever-after may be hanging in the balance.

A Noble Purpose is a New Adult Christian fantasy Hans, Who Made the Princess Laugh retelling and is Book #1 in the Cornerstone Series. Each book can be read as a standalone.

The Dancer and the Dragon Speaker (The Intertwined Tales)

Sisters trapped under threat of fire and destruction. Dragons enslaved by a power-hungry prince. A stable hand who must devise a plan to save them all.

Dragons circle the Oneskan palace at night, shrouding the kingdom in fear and mystery. Only Princess Emelia and her sisters know the fiends fly them to the enemy country of Tsantar under cover of darkness, where Prince Leonnar hopes to steal their secrets and gain control of Oneska. Their father's proclamation that the man who drives away the hovering dragons will marry one of his daughters incites the princesses to redouble their efforts to escape Prince Leonnar's tyranny.

When the enigmatic new stable hand, Merric, offers to help, Emelia finds his as frustrating as he is attractive. His superior knowledge of dragons gives her new hope, until he shatters her trust by showing more interest in protecting the vile creatures than getting rid of them. But only by finding a way to work with Merric--and with the dragons she detests--will Emelia have any chance of freeing herself, her sisters, and her kingdom from Tsantar's clutches forever.
