Elise Kova The Prince's Rogue

She thinks he's a stuck-up prince. He thinks she's the most incredible woman he's ever laid eyes on. Prince Baldair Solaris is on his way to war. He's expected to lead, but how could he when the memories of his first kills still torture him? One night, while trying to distract himself from the ghosts haunting him, he meets a mysterious swordswoman. Raylynn grew up with a band of mercenaries and a mother who taught her everything she knows about the sword. She has no time for princes. Especially not when her mother's killer is still out there. Baldair has never met a person as gifted with the sword as he, and from the moment he laid eyes on Raylynn, he knew he had to have her as a member of his Golden Guard. But there's a steep cost for Raylyn's loyalty-put an end to those hunting her, and reclaim her mother's sword. Luckily, Baldair is a prince who loves a good challenge... and a woman who can best him with a blade. In this story about vengeance, adventure, redemption, and magic, follow Baldair and Raylynn as they embark on a quest that will end in a timeless love story.
