Hannah Howell never disappoints. HIGHLAND PROTECTOR touched
my heart just as all the other Murray's have done. I have
traveled through generations of Murray's and Armstrong's
always wondering about Sir Simon Innes. Always finding
myself wondering about his story. I have longed for
Simon's story and, with HIGHLAND PROTECTOR, Ms. Howell did
not let me down. There were pages when I laughed, some I
smiled, and others I cried. Hannah Howell gave me
everything I wanted for Simon and more.
Protector of the crown, the Murray, and bringer of truth to
all, Sir Simon is not a simple man. There is nothing easy
about being the King's man, finding the truth to all
matters and sorting out who is in the wrong. Simon is a
stickler for truth and no matter who is involved will stop
at nothing to ensure the rightful man is punished. Yet the
case he finds himself involved in seems to be working
against his heart and all he knows. The accused isn't just
any man, but a relative of his adopted family, the
Murray's. Actually, he isn't just any man, for he is a
SHE!
Accused of murder, mayhem, and treason against the crown,
Ilsabeth finds herself on the run. Her family has been
caught in the evil plot right beside her and has directed
her toward the one man that has the ability to save her.
While running for her life, Ilsabeth's heart can not deny
the two children she finds on the road. Two children that
may get her turned away from Sir Innes' or that may be used
against her. Ilsabeth must put her trust, her faith, and
her very soul into the hands of a man that makes her pulse
speed and takes her breathe away at first glance. Will
Simon be the man she is hoping he is? Will he uncover the
truth as he has time and again? Will he save her just to
destroy her heart in the end?
The Murrays are back! From New York Times bestselling author
Hannah Howell comes an all-new story of the beloved Scottish
family, and two lovers entangled in a plot against the
king...
Someone would see Ilsabeth Murray Armstrong hang for murder.
When her dagger is found buried in the body of one of the
king's men, there is little room for doubt—the perpetrator
must pay with her life. But Ilsabeth is no killer, and only
one person can help clear her name: Sir Simon Innes, a man
so steely and cool that no danger can rattle him...and no
woman in distress can sway his heart.
Until now. Simon has spent his life searching for truth in a
world fraught with deception. But the hauntingly beautiful
fugitive seeking his aid affects him so deeply, he wonders
if he can trust the flawless judgment he has always relied
on. For all signs point to Ilsabeth's guilt, except one—the
unparalleled desire he feels at her slightest touch...
