Rebels and Courtesans — D.L. Jackson

It's a big universe out there. In these two novellas born in the stars, challenges are faced and hearts captured.
"Courtesan Boot Camp" Shay has one chance to become what she's been born and bred to be, a royal courtesan to a king and queen, but will falling in love with her trainer throw her off course, or finally put her on the path she was always meant to take?
"Rebel Souls" Ava has lived her entire life fighting for freedom against an oppressive government. When she falls for a man who stands on the opposite side of the line she's drawn, all she's worked for may vanish, including her future with a man she has no business loving.
