Star-Crossed Alliance - Monica Goertzen Hertlein

Her heart yearned for love but instead she must save her people.

Love against all odds, mysterious high-tech invaders, sword-wielding knights, and a warrior princess.

Princess Shawnia, heir and military leader of her prairie kingdom, only intends to marry for love, but when her people are carelessly killed by strange invaders with unimaginably fast transport and deadly weapons never before seen, she forges an alliance with the northern kingdom sealed by her marriage to their prince. The northern prince is handsome and charming, but believes women and royals should remain protected far from the battlefield. Despite what the marriage will cost her in personal freedom and heartbreak, she resolves to see it through in order to save her people.
