Her Father's Protector

Book 3 of the Highland Valiance Series

She spent her entire life in her clan’s castle being taught to be polite and civilized, being prepared for possible royalty, made to be the perfect lady of the castle. She was bred and raised for a single purpose—to be married off for her Laird father’s own political advantage.

When it is rumored that a neighboring clan is plotting to assassinate the Laird of Aldrich, Camy Crestwell’s family hires a bodyguard, Mathou Jameson, a rugged dirty highlander from the North with no manners and no filter, to hunt down the assassin.

Camy finds her prim and proper upbringing rudely disrupted by the rough highlander, but her heart is kindled with a surprising excitement when she is tasked with showing him around the castle. Perhaps having no filter and no discretion isn’t so bad after all—at least it’s a change from the mundane.

But when Mathou fails to make satisfactory progress finding the assassin, he finds the Laird turning the tables on him. If only Camy’s family knew what Mathou knows—the assassin’s target is not the Laird of Aldrich, but rather someone who has now become dear to Mathou….

Her Father's Protector is a 30,000 word standalone novella with no cliffhangers.
