Rebel Belle

Unmatched Southern princess Harper Price was born fit for a Homecoming tiara. Harper's fate, however, takes a very unexpected turn when she is endowed with extraordinary skills after a mysterious encounter at the dance. She develops into a Paladin, a member of a legendary guardian race with incredible strength, agility, and deadly combat reflexes.

Harper learns who she is tasked with protecting: David Stark, a school reporter, the focus of a strange prophesy, and arguably her least favorite person—just when she thinks her life could go any more disastrously wild. However, things get more difficult when Harper begins to develop feelings for him and learns that David's destiny may really include destroying Earth.
