Her Pretty Knight

By Mariah Rae Birch
Her Pretty Knight by Mariah Rae Birch digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

An addictive forbidden romance between a fake princess and her bodyguard…

 

After losing everything ten years ago, Sir Galeon has dedicated her life to serving her kingdom as a knight. When the prince entrusts her with guarding his soon-to-be bride in his arranged marriage, Galeon does not expect to have her heart captured by the confounding princess.

 

Della has more than one deadly secret. Not only is she pretending to be Princess Cordelia, but she is also a witch in a world where magic is as dangerous as it is illegal. Her ability to manipulate death is the reason she is here, and her only way out. The last thing she wants is an overly loyal knight following her everywhere.

Della knows that Galeon can never learn her secrets. And Galeon knows the prince's bride is entirely off-limits.

 

As reluctant proximity turns to tentative trust, initial attraction becomes burning desire. What should have been simple becomes terribly complicated.

 

Yet nothing will stop Della from fulfilling the bargain she made to save her sister. Not even an inconveniently timed baby phoenix or rumors of false identity. Not even murdered corpses in the library or a jealous prince.

 

Not even a pretty knight.

 

The first in a series of stand-alone stories set in the same world, this slow burn steamy queer romantasy is inspired by classic fairy tales and Arthurian legend, where the shining knight is a scarred woman, the princess is also the witch, and the prince is anything but charming.

 

This story contains grief, violence, explicit language, and a guaranteed HEA.

Her Pretty Knight Reviews

3.5
“We sapphic girls deserve more of this kind of stories. This book isn't complicated at all, but it wasn't simplistic either, and if you're here for the romance, you don't come out unsatisfied, because it's smooth, and it has just the right amount of yearning (and oh, don't lesbians know how to yearn). It could've been more complex? Yes, but I also love that it isn't. It's just the perfect love story.”
“Adorably hopeless lesbians engaging in a forbidden romance. Super cute, loved the sister aswell. Short easy read chalk full of yearning, Della is funny and quick while Galeon is a big ol' autistic (IMO) golden retriever. My only complaint - though a hefty one - is I wish the cast were more diverse, I found myself "head-cannoning" many characters to be different than described because of this.”

About Mariah Rae Birch

Mariah Rae quit her corporate job in 2022 and wrote a book. And she never stopped.

While her earliest works of fiction and art were plastered boldly to the kitchen walls in her childhood home, it took her another twenty years to gather her courage to share her stories again. Now she writes sapphic tales full of romance and magic.

An artist of many kinds, writing fills Mariah Rae's creative well to the brim. She lives near the mountains with her spouse and furry children. When not writing, she bakes, lurks in nature, and plays games with her small circle of heart family.
