Scottish protector

Series: KENDRICK CLAN I

The well-known and beloved bestselling author returns to the ring with a new series of stories about the men of the Kendrick clan – and the women who won their hearts.
Lady Ainsley Matthews, an heiress and the darling of high society, is supposed to marry a wonderful fiancé.

Only one person can help her – Royal Kendrick, the son of a prominent Scottish clan. Although a past mistake once tore them apart, Royal is the only man Ainsley trusts to save her child – even if it means they will never see each other again. Wounded in body and soul by war, Royal suddenly finds a new purpose in life – to care for the innocent child and help the woman he still loves. But when Ainsley unexpectedly returns to Scotland, determined to be a real mother to her child despite the great risks, there is only one solution: to marry. And this has only one likely consequence: succumbing to the desire that has long smouldered between her and Royal, no matter how dangerous it may be…
