Lady Evelyn Montgomery,
only daughter of the Baron of Rayne, detests the thought of marriage.
She will never allow a man to control her. Crushed by the
constraints of propriety, she steals away from the safety of the keep
and stumbles onto a plot designed to stir up trouble between England
and Scotland. When a mysterious hooded man saves her, she fights her
attraction to him as they join forces to hunt down a traitor and save
her father. But can she save her heart?
Gabriel is a Shadow
Guardian. Hiding beneath his black cowl and blending into the night,
he is sworn to protect the Baron's daughter. The spirited Lady Evelyn
is far from the delicate flower he anticipated. She makes herself
crystal clear, no man will possess her. Can he prove to her that love
can be more than just possession? Or will the traitor they seek tear
them apart forever?
Excerpt:
"What
is it you want from me?"
"I am a shadow guardian."
He leaned toward her. "My purpose is to protect you from harm,
even if it means protecting you from yourself." His voice was
velvet soft.
"Who holds your allegiance?"
"You, princess," he responded.
"You can address me with my proper title, Lady
Evelyn," she admonished,
throwing the ruined flower to the floor to
grind it beneath her slipper.
"You aren't angry." He
took a step closer. It was a statement, not a question.
"Aye, but I am," she
said, setting her jaw and boldly glaring at him. "I do not need
you to watch over me like a child. I can take care of myself."
Her heart whispered a plea to
accept him, trust him. Her pride fought back, sending her heart to a
dark place deep inside. Her spine straightened. She refused to like
this man.
"Forgive my intrusion,"
he bowed stiffly. "Good evening, my lady." A chill embraced
her as he stepped away. Her heart cried out, begging to give him a
chance.
"And
if I should require your
assistance?" she murmured just above
a whisper.
His hand hovered on the balcony door handle. "I'll
be close by, hiding in the shadows." His reply was soft, as if
to soothe her pride.
"Do you have a name, shadow
guardian?" The question spilled from her lips before she could
stop it.
His head turned towards her, face
hidden deep in the hood, but the smile in
his voice was clear.
"Gabriel."
With two swift strides, he
disappeared over the balcony and into the waiting darkness.
