About the Book
Rescuing the Lady of Sedgeworth (The Ladies of the Keep, Book Three) 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 Regencies series.
The heroine in Rescuing the Lady of Sedgeworth, Genvieve de Chauret, is cousin to Augustin de Chauret, both are ancestors of Mignonette de Chauret who marries Sean O’Malley in The Duke’s Protector (The Duke’s Guard, Book 2.)
The Ladies of the Keep must decide to place their trust in an unlikely ally–or lose everything they hold dear!
Kidnapped Norman beauty Lady Genvieve is on her way to her cousin’s new holding Merewood Keep, when her escort is overpowered. Struggling to flee from her captors she is brutally beaten, suffers a blow to the throat, and is knocked unconscious.
On his return to Merewood Keep, MacInness, vassal to Garrick of Merewood, sees a midnight-haired angel being attacked. He interferes, and the enemy’s arrow hits its mark, shooting his warhorse out from beneath him. Nothing will stop him from rescuing the woman, but her throat is injured, and she cannot speak. He brings her to his overlord’s home, unaware of who she is or the changes that have taken place while he was in Scotland. Waiting for her to recover he discovers a woman he can love. One who will finally replace the one he can never have, his overlord’s wife.
Genvieve de Chauret is drawn to the handsome Highlander who risked his life to save hers, and falls in love with him. Someone wants her dead, and when MacInness marries Genvieve, his life is now in danger as well. When MacInness is attacked, rumors abound that it is his wife who wants him dead. When Genvieve’s life is threatened, they have to look into their hearts, and that of their keep’s people to find the traitor threatening their newfound happiness.
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.
