HE CAN GUARD HERLady Phoebe Batten is pretty, vivacious, and yearning for a social life befitting the sister of a powerful duke. But because she is almost completely blind, her overprotective brother insists that she have an armed bodyguard by her side at all times-the very irritating Captain Trevillion.FROM EVERY DANGERCaptain James Trevillion is proud, brooding, and cursed with a leg injury from his service in the King's dragoons. Yet he can still shoot and ride like the devil, so watching over the distracting Lady Phoebe should be no problem at all-until she's targeted by kidnappers.BUT PASSION ITSELFCaught in a deadly web of deceit, James must risk life and limb to save his charge from the lowest of cads-one who would force Lady Phoebe into a loveless marriage. But while they're confined to close quarters for her safekeeping, Phoebe begins to see the tender man beneath the soldier's hard exterior . . . and the possibility of a life-and love-she never imagined possible.

A good historical romance where both main characters had a disability. I liked the way the story showed them coping with blindness and a lame leg. It more than compensated for a few frequently used plot lines. Lady Phoebe's brother, a Duke, hires retired Dragoon Captain James to protect her.
Phoebe is blind so her brother, Wakefield, hires a bodyguard for her. When Phoebe is kidnapped, Trevillion rescues her and puts her in a place where no one, including her brother can find her. I liked these characters. Though both are disabled, it does not stop them from living life. Nor does it sto...
My review contains spoilers and they're mostly my thoughts as I went with the book... Okay, is it only me? I’m increasingly having this feeling that the Maiden Lane books are becoming shorter by installment. Yes, I’m a little bit unhappy about it, only because I’m such a fan of the series that I end...
