Publisher's Summary

Michael Buchanan will need every bit of his extensive skill set when he appoints himself as bodyguard to a woman determined not to need one in this thrilling novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.

Grace Isabel MacKenna has a hundred things to do today. Killing someone isn't one of them. It is supposed to be a quick visit to Boston for the Buchanan anniversary party, then on to Scotland to collect an inheritance. She checks into her hotel and then decides to go for a brisk walk. But after getting lost, she ends up with a wounded man stumbling into her arms—and his shooter coming after them both. When she fires back in self-defense, she doesn’t expect him to drop dead. After Isabel endures an interrogation by police, she is free to go, thanks to the Buchanans dispatching former Navy SEAL and now lawyer Michael Buchanan to assist her.

Isabel knows she should be grateful for Michael’s help, but since she’s harbored an extreme dislike for him for years, gratitude is difficult to muster. Michael has appointed himself her de facto guardian, and she’s stuck with him despite their constant bickering and sizzling attraction. Even when Isabel goes to Scotland to claim her inheritance, Michael follows her—but he isn’t the only thing she can’t shake. Mysterious threats against Isabel surface, and before they can deal with their growing feelings for each other, Michael and Isabel must first survive.

What the critics say

“Narrator Samantha Brentmoor brings to life the romance between Isabel MacKenna and Michael Buchanan. [Isabel] is the type of person people gravitate to, and Brentmoor deftly conveys her warmth and compassion. As a lawyer and former Navy SEAL, Michael has a no-nonsense personality, and Brentmoor reflects this with a clear and concise portrayal. She injects humor into her narration, especially when it comes to Isabel's driving.”AudioFile Magazine

“Garwood delivers plenty of twists to keep the suspense brewing and a subplot about Grace’s potential music career adds color. Readers will be hooked."Publishers Weekly

“Fans of the series will clamor for this book, which can also be read as a standalone.”Library Journal

The formula is tired

My least favourite JG book. It felt like the story was following a particular formula and this didn’t hit the mark, unfortunately.

The last book

I have been reading & listening to Julie Garwood books for a long time. This like every book she has written is my favourite. There is that is the best. With all the stories JULIE Garwood written they all go back into the reread pile.
Listening to what happens finally to the Glen is a wonderful end.
I am going to miss waiting for the next story. Julie Garwood you will be missed. Good bye

Not as good as others in series

This book was certainly not as good as the others in the series which I really enjoyed ! This story was not developed nor consistent ! the heroine was weak and silly - when her talents said she should be strong ! The Hero did not talk - he just gave orders

Grace under Fire

Julie Garwood is still doing a great job with this series. Isabelle McKenna is back, all grown up. Another Buchanan steps up to the plate. Good story. Excellent narration. Buy it.
