This marriage would ensure a strong binding alliance between the two clans. When Reid was just a young lad, his father promised a clan chieftain, that Reid would marry his daughter.
There was also that other complication, which Reid often tries to put out of his mind the fact that he is betrothed. Reid found that he had to constantly remind himself, that Audrey was his ward, and under his protection, not a woman with whom he could take liberties with. But, how could he refuse his dying friend’s request? What Reid never expected, however, was that Nicholas’s daughter, Audrey, was not a wee bairn, to be taken care of, but a full grown woman, and a beautiful one, at that. Reid, the Scottish Earl of Seaforth, did not want to take on the responsibility of another man’s daughter. The Highland Guardian is a well-written, perfectly paced Scottish Highlander Romance. Magnetic, sexy romance is at the heart of this novel, made complete with a cast of richly depicted characters, authentic historical detail, and a fast-moving plot. Audrey begins to feel she must convince Reid that there is a future for them. When Reid, his men, and Audrey must travel swiftly to Scotland to elude Wagner Tupps, an evil man claiming to be the heir to Kennet's estate, and Reid's longtime enemy Captain Fry, Audrey and Reid spend more time alone together, and passion sizzles. As Reid begins to search for suitors for Audrey, the mutual attraction between them builds, but Reid believes that it would be irresponsible of him to act on it. But Reid is stunned when he learns that Kennet's daughter, Audrey, is 19 years old, and she is less than thrilled that Reid is her new guardian. Reid MacKenzie, Earl of Seaforth, fulfills the last wishes of Nicholas Kennet, a passenger on his ship who died when the ship was wrecked by cannonball fire: with his dying breath, Kennet asked Reid to take care of his young daughter. In Jarecki's zingy third 18th-century Lords of the Highlands installment (after The Highland Commander), an English heiress falls hard for her new guardian, a Scottish earl.
