Princess Brittany yearns for adventure beyond the castle walls that imprison her. So, she does what any ambitious princess would. She escapes. Only to get snatched up by a fearsome dragon. There's but one man who can rescue her. However, he doesn't want to.... Alvin is a bard renowned for spinning epic tales of battling beasts over frothing mugs at the local tavern. When a royal decree names Alvin the champion who must rescue Princess Brittany, he reluctantly accepts the dangerous quest to avoid getting labeled a coward. With each step on his harrowing journey, the line between his fabled narratives and his newfound reality blurs, challenging the heart beneath his minstrel's garb, especially when he's shadowed by the enigmatic Sir Simon, who plans to swoop in when Alvin fails and win Brittany's heart. Princess Brittany, far from a damsel in distress, proves a fierce and resourceful ally. Together, she and Sir Alvin navigate a labyrinth of betrayal that threatens to unravel the kingdom. Their shared trials spark a connection that defies their worlds apart, igniting a flame that warms them in the chilling face of adversity. But is love enough to defeat dragons and save a doomed kingdom from a maniacal wizard? The Princess and the Reluctant Knight weaves a tale of unexpected courage, the transformative power of self-belief, and the tender comedy of love's surprising emergence. Unfold the adventure, romance, and heroism as Princess Brittany and Sir Alvin discover that the greatest story yet might be their own.

As a former foster kid, she’s learned that the only things she can depend on are herself and the scientific method, and a silly e-mail won’t convince her otherwise. Prince Thabiso is the sole heir to the throne of Thesolo, shouldering the hopes of his parents and his people. At the top of their list? His marriage.
