domhnall and clia have a planned alliance that will unite their neighboring kingdoms; it is supposed to be perfect... until he refuses to propose. so, as anyone would have done, clia follows him to the military academy he's training at. 

she then meets ronan, one of domhnall's guards who quickly becomes interested in clia. but, a war is on the horizon.

cait jacobs has created a masterful fantasy inspired by legally blonde! though it is marketed as new adult, it is fade-to-black and i think this would be a fine read for ages 14 and up. while you will not be getting loads of worldbuilding, jacobs makes up for it with her fantastic fighting descriptions and political fantasy aspects.
