Thursday's Child — Nancy Elliott

Her guardian was no angel. Sheltered in a palace since birth, Elise St. James knew nothing of the world. Then political turmoil forced her to flee her home and she acquired a bodyguard -- one Logan Hunter, attorney by trade, adventurer by inclination. Logan gladly educated his strangely naive charge in the ways of the West. But even after weeks together on a Bahamian island, Logan could learn nothing about Elise's past. All he knew was that he loved her. And when her enemies reached halfway around the world to pluck Elise from his grasp, Logan was willing to risk anything to get her back.
