The Duke’s reluctant ward!

The Duke's Defender (The Duke’s Guard #6) by C.H. Admirand     

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A sudden death that looks very much like murder has the Duke of Wyndmere honoring his close friend Lord Montrose’s request to become the guardian of his daughter Emily.

Miss Emily Montrose is not the most accommodating of people, particularly as at 21 she feels she doesn’t need to be anyone’s ward.

How’s Aiden Garahan going to handle the situation? The lass makes his heart beat faster, but trying to curtail her foolhardiness is almost too much.

Emily refuses to believe she’s in danger, but she is. That refusal puts her guards’ lives at risk

(We know the Dukes Guard, those wonderful Irish rogues will always win through.)

Does Emily modify her behaviour? No!

Believe me, halfway through I was well and truly over her.

Of course she’s finally rescued from a fate worse than death

The two reluctant lovers are joined but not without a lot of trouble and strife surrounding them both in London and en route to the Duke’s home.

An amusing read, and if you’ve been following the series, then of course you’ll  need to read on!
