The Faux Princess - Dragons Run My Life, #1

Tanial rides with her "sister" princess and a handsome Gapten escort to a faraway King who will choose a bride. Someone wants them dead. Because the Gapten's man killed the genuine Princess, he's frantic to find a replacement or he'll lose his head. A foretoken sends him across Tanial's path and he instantly recognizes her uncanny similarity to the dead princess. His boot against her brow ends her resistance. During their journey, however, the Gapten excites Tanial far more than the idea of being Queen.
But to survive to love him, she must befriend her new sister, dupe the King's examiners, endure a weeks-long journey on horseback, and avoid an assassin. The Faux Princess begins the exciting action-adventure fantasy series Dragons Run My Life. Life, love and similar trifles in a world different from and yet analogous to ours. Except for those called dragons.
