When Sir Harcourt Murray receives Lady Annys's message for help, he and his five warrior friends come to help. It has been five years since the day he left Annys, because of honor and duty to his friend David whom saved his life , Harcourt has agreed to father a child with Sir MacQueen's wife...Lady Annys.

Now he needs to save the son he fathered with Annys but he still can't claim the boy as his son since he is the heir of the MacQueen.

HIGHLAND GUARD is an interesting and fun romance with both danger and adventure. The plot is nice but a little slow in the middle but overall enjoyable. HIGHLAND GUARD is the second book I have read by Hannah Howell; it is charming, although the ending is predictable.
