The Noble Guardian — Michelle Griep

A Cross-Country Trip through Regency England Brings Intrigue, Rogues, and High Adventure

The must-read conclusion to Michelle Griep's Bow Street Runners Trilogy: Life couldn't be better for Abigail Gilbert -- but it's been a long time in coming. Having lived with a family who hated her, it's finally her time for love. Abby sets off on a journey across England to marry one of the most prestigious gentlemen in the land -- until highwaymen upset her plans and threaten her life.

Horse patrol captain Samuel Thatcher arrives just in time to save Abby. But she's simply another victim in a job he's come to despise. Tired of the dark side of humanity, he intends to buy land and retire.

Abby pleads with him to escort her for the rest of her journey. He refuses -- until she offers him something he desperately needs to achieve his goal. . .money. Delivering her safely will give him more than enough to buy property.

So begins an impossible trek for the cynical lawman and the proper lady. Each will be indelibly changed by the time they reach her betrothed, if they don't kill one another first -- or fall in love.
