Synopsis:

Although Agnes MacKenzie has forsworn romance, Edward Napier's intellect and graceful ways are enough to draw her into a sudden and joyous love, one that they must struggle to cherish and protect. Original.

Reviews: If you can believe that an 18th-century Scottish noblewoman is a master of ancient Chinese martial art, then nothing need prevent you from enjoying this well-crafted historical romance from Lamb (Betrayed). Second in the Clan MacKenzie Trilogy, this book focuses on Agnes, the eldest of Lachlan MacKenzie's three illegitimate daughters. In a reversal of all the romantic cliches of male derring-do, Agnes saves the life of the hero, Edward Napier. Warriorlike, she protects Napier and his two children from endless plots while staving him off with her sharp tongue. If it sags a bit in the middle, this witty book still offers a fresh twist for fans of Lamb's romances.

When renowned bodyguard Agnes MacKenzie saves Edward Napier's life by jumping in front of an arrow meant for him, she ends up under his medical care, guarding him and his children from a relentless assassin. She is also in great danger of falling in love. A unique premise, a fearless heroine, and a persistent hero are complemented by lively dialog, beautifully managed sexual tension, and a batch of unusual secondary characters such as an elderly, knife-wielding aunt highlight this swift-moving, involving story, the second in Lamb's "Clan MacKenzie" trilogy (Betrayed, Pocket, 1995). Lamb is a popular writer of Highland historical romances, and her fans will be waiting for this.-KR
