About the Book
Liberating the Lady of Loughmoe (The Ladies of the Keep, Book One) is connected to The Lords of Vice series, and The Duke’s Guard series through MacInness and his Irish mercenaries the O’Malleys, brothers Patrick and Sean and their cousins Kelly and Eamon—ancestors of the O’Malleys who appear in these two Regency series.
The Ladies of the Keep must decide to place their trust in an unlikely ally–or lose everything they hold dear!
Saxon Lady Jillian is forced to become a slave to the lady of the keep in order to save her birthright. Garrick of Merewood’s younger brother is imprisoned at Sedgeworth Keep.
Lady Jillian devises a plan to help his brother escape, if the warrior will agree to marry her, thereby freeing her from a forced life of servitude. When she adds the lure of her family’s fertile holding, Loughmoe Keep, he discovers he needs her aid, and reluctantly agrees to marry her in exchange for her aid.
Rumors of her duplicity threaten to tear them apart after they wed and he learns she no longer has her family holding, Loughmoe Keep, to offer as part of her dowry. Sinister forces are working against them when Jillian and Garrick’s mother are captured, and a ransom is demanded for them. A ransom he cannot pay.
With the help of Garrick’s vassal MacInness, and his Irish Contingent (the O’Malley brothers and cousins) they work to rout the greedy baron behind the kidnapping and attempt to steal Loughmoe and Merewood Keep.
It takes a strong warrior to realize that in order to win the heart of his lady, he must not force her to become what he has been taught to anticipate, but to accept her for who she is.
