A Goodreads Best of the Month find!

He offers sworn to protect her… Captain Reid MacKenzie, Earl of Seaforth, is a man of his word. Throughout a harrowing fight at sea, the heroic Highlander makes a vow to a dying friend to view within the man’s daughter. His strategy: send the child to boarding school as quickly as possible therefore he can continue his mission. But Reid’s brand-new ward is normally no wee lass. She’s a ravishing, fully grown woman, and it’s really all he can do to remember his duty rather than seduce her himself.

But he could be her best threat… Miss Audrey Kennet is stunned by the news. First this kilted brute tells Audrey her dad is dead, and then he insists she marry. But simply because Reid scours Britain for the best option husband, Audrey shortly realizes the courageous, brawny Scot is the just guy she wants–though adoring him means risking her lands, her independence, as well as her life.
