Star-Crossed Alliance cover showing Princess Shawnia with crossbow

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

Impossible love, 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.

This story has been in my head for decades and was finally put into words in November of 2018 as my first-ever NaNoWriMo project. In the seven years since, it has gone through ten full revisions plus many edits based on feedback from critique partners and editors. It went from just over 50,000 words in 2018; to 76,000 words in April of 2022; to 67,000 words in November of 2022; up to nearly 95,000 words in 2025. I’m thrilled to finally share it!
