In Due Rescue
It would be a terrible cliché to say Princess Filomena couldn’t believe her eyes. But, to be honest, if she had imagined a knight rescuing her today, it would have been someone like Sir Galahad or Sir Lancelot—strong, noble, and shiny—riding up on a blinding white charger that had more frills and pennants than a tournament.

On Algid Shores
Don't look. Don't look. Don't look. Even with the admonition to herself, Gen couldn't help but lift her eyes. Her husband-to-be wasn't even focused on her, so her breach of manners went unnoticed by him. He was staring up at her father, not at the girl kneeling at her father's feet.

Basic Training
Five weeks ago. It hadn't been sudden or unexpected. It hadn't been a surprise.

But the chin wasn’t attached to the right face—the only face she craved to see.
