About the Book
A hard-headed Irishman protecting her is the last thing she wants…and everything she needs
The Duke’s Guard: The men in black who have sworn an oath to protect the Duke of Wyndmere and his family from enemies that would stop at nothing to discredit and destroy him!
Harriet Mayfield (Harry to her friends) does not like being told what to do! She’s been keeping their tenant farm afloat with the help of her 14-year-old son (the image of his dead father) her strength, and her wits. The last thing she needs is the irritating, too-handsome-for-his-own-good member of The Duke’s Guard to ride to the rescue when a group of men arrive in the middle of the night to trample their crops and set fire to their barn!
She has to admit, when he’s not ordering her around, there is something in his smile and in the depths of his eyes that beckons to her. Then there is the fact he arrived in time to prevent that behemoth from crushing her. What are a few broken ribs when they could have lost their farm? Mayhap she could befriend O’Malley, then ask to let her borrow his cousin’s .50 Kentucky long rifle.
Michael O’Malley is drawn to the feisty widow from the first. Her unusual height and curvaceous form keep him up nights. But it is her sunset hair and mist-laden eyes that haunt him. Any Irishman worth his salt appreciates the strength of a woman who is not afraid to keep going even after the loss of her husband. Harry is the first woman he’s met since setting foot on English soil who calls to his heart while she’s butting heads with him.
When an enemy of Viscount Chattsworth threatens to ruin him, it is up to the Duke of Wyndmere’s guard stationed at Chattsworth Manor to protect the viscount and everything he holds dear.
Danger stalks in the night, but it will have to penetrate The Duke’s Shield before he will let harm come to those he has sworn to protect with his strength, his heart, and his honor.
