About the Book

Passion wrapped in determination, forged in the fire of her convictions… That is what Miss Phillipa Stanhope is made of.

The Duke’s Guard: The men in black who have sworn an oath to protect the Duke of Wyndmere and his family from enemies that would stop at nothing to discredit and destroy him!

This latest installment in C.H.’s fan-favorite series, The Duke’s Guard, has all of your favorite tropes, including Frenemies! Things are not always as they seem in this Regency Historical, and two women on the run with an infant are not necessarily guilty of kidnapping.

Flaherty stares down the muzzle of a blunderbuss. The coachman who won’t look him in the eye, and the wail of a newborn babe only complicates matters…

Nonplussed by the weapon pointed at his chest, Flaherty advances. Panicked, the young coachman steps backward, trips, and the gun goes off! Flaherty dives to the side, but catches some scattershot. Flaherty hauls the coachman to his feet, shakes him, and his hat falls off. A cascade of angel-blonde hair slips free, tangling around Flaherty’s wrist. The nick to Flaherty’s pride is equal to the wound in his side—he’s been bested by a woman!

Friends before they can walk and talk, Phillipa Stanhope would do anything to protect her widowed friend Millicent and her newborn son…

Millicent’s brother-in-law threatens to take her babe the moment it’s born! Though the risk of traveling right after giving birth is great to Millie and her infant son—Pippa knows they have no choice but to flee.

Though wounded, Flaherty takes charge and escorts the trio to Summerfield Chase for their safety. He keeps his distance from Pippa. When his temper cools down, and he hears the whole story, Flaherty has a change of heart and offers marriage to protect Pippa.

Pippa cannot leave her friend unprotected, and she bargains with Flaherty. If he agrees to let Millie and her babe live with them, she’ll accept his proposal. Before the special license arrives, an attempted kidnapping leaves Pippa injured, forcing them to realize the true depth of their feelings for one another. Three of Pippa’s older brothers arrive along with a surprise that complicates matters. On the heels of their arrival, a band of brigands arrive as a distraction, while Millie’s brother-in-law lures Pippa outside.

Danger stalks in the night, but it will have to get past The Duke’s Cavalier before he will let harm come to those he has sworn to protect with his strength, his honor, and his heart.

Great fun: “I do love this Duke’s Guard series. I have read all of them so far and enjoyed them all. We are nearly at the end now as most of the big handsome Irishmen have found their permanent loves. I believe there is a new series to come and look forward to it,” 5 Star Amazon Review.

“She has done it again, a wonderful story, feisty heroine, and of course, those hot hunk Dukes guards! Pippa and Dillon meet under less than congenial circumstances but, of course, find a way into each other’s hearts. Love Millies happy ending also. The only thing more I want to see is Tremayne and O’Ghill find their true loves!” 5 Star Amazon Review

Bravo who’s next?” 5 Star Amazon Review

GREAT CHARACTERS: “Unique series and many crossover characters. Even though book 15 this one can be a standalone, because the villain isn’t from other stories. Great main and secondary characters. Our MC were loving, honest and had great banter.” 4.25 STARS Amazon Review

Loves the series: “I started this series with four books about The Duke of Wyndmere and why he hired his guards. I look forward to the next book and will be sad that it’s over. Hopefully another series will begin,” 5 Star Amazon Review

Early BookBub Reviews…

Page-turner: “When the men of the Duke’s Guard fall, they fall hard…I loved their honest conversation about dreams and expectations, and seeing how Flaherty showed her his love and understanding. Another fantastic entry in the Duke’s Guard series. The tension builds as attempts escalate, with one rescue coming from an unexpected source, and the final confrontation a heart-stopping face-off,” 5 Star BookBub Review

I loved their journey to a HEA there are surprises, danger as well as tender moments,” BookBub 4.5 Star Review

“This has been a fun series, full of good-hearted, generous people, although not people to be trifled with. The series, and this book, emanate such positivity and love that it is almost heart-breaking. Terrific series with big-hearted, well-written characters, similar, but interesting, fun plots, and positivity,” BookBub 5 Star Review
