Wardens are revered and to be afforded the respect of their stations at all times for they are passive beings, in constant danger from dark forces. Every warden has their own paladins, ancient knights born to protect, obey and serve. They are bound by honour, justice, courage, and above all, loyalty to their liege. Sounds like a pretty good deal, right? The only problem is, Max has no idea what a warden is let alone a paladin. She's been alone her whole life, causing natural disasters and bar fights everywhere she goes. Strange creatures stalk her every step, and she's fairly certain she's a chocolate junkie. Meeting a bunch of smokin' hot knights seems too good to be true but she's just desperate enough to believe them. After all, what harm could there be in a few days of rest and relaxation in a beautiful house by the beach, surrounded by a harem of muscle-bound warriors? But there's one thing she didn't count on ... Ryker.

Six foot four of solid muscle, deep chocolate brown eyes, shaggy black hair and a rugged scar down one side of his face, he was Max's every fantasy come to life. But the ancient knight is scarred with a tragic past and believes his soul is stained with dishonour. Coupled with Max's own stubbornness and trust issues, she figures the chance of getting a happy ending is pretty slim.

For the Love of Justice
Debbie Cassidy - 2020
The events that take place happen a few months after the events of the main series and provide readers with an insight into what happened after the big climax. I strongly recommend reading the Nightwatch Academy series before reading this novella.Change isn't always for the better, and sometimes it plain sucks!Since the universal glamour fell, no supernatural is safe. Registration is compulsory, daemons are being rounded up and sent back to Demonica, and with the human police force sticking their oars in left right and centre, being a nightwatch agent is harder than ever.The world has changed and we’re having to adapt. Thank god for the support of my guys. But in the early hours of the morning, just before sleep takes me, I think about him—the one who left promising to return.Just when I decide enough is enough and that it’s time to go after him, I get the news I’ve been waiting for, followed by a shitty twist.Harmon is back, but he’s locked in Hallow Hills Prison.My family is so close to being complete, and not even a maximum-security prison is going to come between me and my man.I’m going in, and I’m not coming back out without him.If only fate could leave it at that.
