Paladin

Friends to lovers. Second chance. Secrets. Forbidden romance.
Darius lives by the code of the paladins, almost to the point of obsession. Without a doubt, his discipline has forged him into a noble knight. But it has also cost him the woman of his dreams, and created an unrelenting hatred for his enemies, the chades. With his personal demons haunting his every step, Darius's legendary control snaps and a sizzling affair with his long-denied love is the result. Breaking the rules never felt so good.
As a paladin of death, acceptance is at Diana's core. So even though it cost her to deny her feelings for Darius, she accepted she had no other choice. But somehow over the years, her overwhelming attraction to her fellow knight turned into something more. Love. Unfortunately, loving a pathological rule-follower isn't easy. And when a painful past is revealed and a bitter enemy bent on revenge strikes too close to home, Diana fears her second chance at love is doomed to fail all over again.
