Damon Hunter is a young attorney from the Bradfield Douglass
Law Firm who recently drew up the will for billionaire
Selwyn Chancellor leaving nearly his entire fortune to his
late son's only daughter Carol. Though estranged after Adam
Chancellor's sudden tragic death, her grandfather kept
close watch on her even after her mother remarried and had
him adopt her. Upon her grandfather's death Damon becomes
the GUARDIAN TO THE HEIRESS.
Carol is needless to say shocked that she was mentioned in
the will let alone the heiress to the Chancellor fortune.
She had believed that none of her father's family cared
about her, but Damon is quick to put a lie to that and
begins to help the young heiress find her way in a world
she was not prepared to be in. His biggest problem is his
own attraction to the young beauty. He finds she is
beautiful, inside and out, with a generous warmth and high
intelligence that keeps him on his toes.
Almost right away she finds that there are a number of
people she must learn to deal with, simple things like a
housekeeper who completely ignores the fact that she owns
the house. Harder to handle is her uncle's wife whose
hatred can be felt toward her, and her cousin who
completely ignores the fact that they are first cousins and
comes on to her. Even her own mother who had done little
but tolerate and lie to her, is now suddenly expecting to
be part of her life.
While she is learning to deal, she comes to realize that
Damon fears getting romantically involved with her, for his
own reputation as well as hers, knowing others would think
he took up with her for her money. With this new world
fraught with danger, duplicity and intrigue can she make
Damon understand that falling in love with her isn't a bad
thing? It's the only thing that makes sense.
GUARDIAN TO THE HEIRESS is a well-written, warm romance,
with enough dashes of human intrigue that you won't be able
to put it down. You feel you are there as the young woman
finds her place in the new world, but she stays true to
herself with her own goals and plans. I love Margaret Way's
books. They are so well written that you can almost hear
the Aussie accents. I have always wanted to visit Australia
and someday I will, but until then I will depend on Ms.
Way's books to take me there.
Carol Chancellor is estranged from her relatives thanks to
a bitter feud. So when she's revealed as the newest
Chancellor heiress, shock waves of resentment ripple
throughout the family. Fortunately, hotshot Sydney lawyer
Damon Hunter is on hand to protect her as she comes home to
claim what is hers.
Carol's never felt as strong as when she's in Damon's arms.
And when her safety is threatened, the only person she can
turn to is him.
Soon Carol realizes that it's not just her safety that's in
danger—but also her heart.…
