Highland Guard — Elina Emerald

Kieran MacKenzie is a Highland guard and member of the MacGregor and Henderson war bands. As a highly skilled warrior, he is used to guarding 'troublesome' women. But nothing will prepare him for his latest assignment when he volunteers to escort a comely but irritating young woman to an abbey. Kieran will soon discover that nothing is as it seems, and it will require all his expertise to protect her. Naomi Augusto was raised in an abbey by an elite order of nuns. Trained in the ways of combat, she protects the secrets of the Order. Fiercely independent, she has no time for an annoying brawny Highlander who interferes with her mission. With an ancient 'Truth Seeker' relic to protect, and enemies closing in, Naomi will need to maintain her wits to ensure they both survive.    Content Warning: This book contains alpha males and feisty heroines wielding weapons of mass distraction.
