The Protector’s Promise

Court and Marion have been pitted against each other by fate. Can love bring them together instead?

The Protector

Sir William, known as Court, keenly feels his lack of status as a seneschal, tasked with running a castle that does not belong to him. When one of the king’s regents offers him land and a title in exchange for storming a strategic castle in the borderlands, he quickly accepts.

Before he can lead the attack, Court is inexplicably drawn to the enchanted fairy pools of Scotland, where he takes possession of a powerful stone. Though he knows nothing of its legend, he senses it will aid him in what lies ahead. There is only one problem. The stone has a sworn protector who will do anything to reclaim it, and Court soon discovers she is not easily denied.

The Promise

Marion has spent her entire life preparing to fulfill her duty as the protector of the Stone of Scotland. When an Englishman steals it, she vows to take it back. What she does not expect is the man himself. Handsome, confounding, and impossible to ignore.

Falling in love was never part of her vow.

The Protector’s Promise is a historical romance novella that can be read as a standalone story. It is also the seventh book in a historical romance series set in 13th century Northumbria along the Anglo Scottish border.
