Although Agnes MacKenzie has forsworn romance, Edward Napier's intellect and graceful ways are enough to draw her into a sudden and joyous love, one that they must struggle to cherish and protect.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
If you can believe that an 18th-century Scottish noblewoman is a master of ancient Chinese martial art, then nothing need prevent you from enjoying this well-crafted historical romance from Lamb (Betrayed). Second in the Clan MacKenzie Trilogy, this book focuses on Agnes, the eldest of Lachlan MacKenzie's three illegitimate daughters. In a reversal of all the romantic cliches of male derring-do, Agnes saves the life of the hero, Edward Napier. Warriorlike, she protects Napier and his two children from endless plots while staving him off with her sharp tongue. If it sags a bit in the middle, this witty book still offers a fresh twist for fans of Lamb's romances.

From Library Journal
When renowned bodyguard Agnes MacKenzie saves Edward Napier's life by jumping in front of an arrow meant for him, she ends up under his medical care, guarding him and his children from a relentless assassin. She is also in great danger of falling in love. A unique premise, a fearless heroine, and a persistent hero are complemented by lively dialog, beautifully managed sexual tension, and a batch of unusual secondary characters such as an elderly, knife-wielding aunt highlight this swift-moving, involving story, the second in Lamb's "Clan MacKenzie" trilogy (Betrayed, Pocket, 1995). Lamb is a popular writer of Highland historical romances, and her fans will be waiting for this.-KR

Delightful adventure!,

This review is from: Beguiled (Mass Market Paperback)
Agnes Mackenzie, haunted by a mistake that led to the disappearance of her baby sister, Virginia, had dedicated herself to protecting the innocents of the world and searching for Virginia. When someone shoots an arrow at the widowed doctor and inventor Edward Napier, Earl of Cathcart, Agnes throws herself in its path. She forces Cathcart to take her with him to his home in the lower Highlands to find the assassin and protect the Earl's children.A wonderfully descriptive tale of love, loss and regret over past mistakes. Agnes is a strong, capable woman who believes love must wait until her quest is completed.

the best of the clan...,
This review is from: Beguiled (Mass Market Paperback)
of the Clan MacKenzie books by Arnette Lamb, I personally relate and enjoy this one best. Agnes is a wonderfully unconventional historical heroine. Brave, intelligent and beautiful-she's a bodyguard-and Miss Lamb's skillful, fun writing carries that, at first implausible, lady's occupation off. Her hero is equally a bold character as he is a studious, intelligent inventor of textiles. A truly enjoyable read. 5 stars!

Love this story.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beguiled (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved how Ms. Lamb has expanded on the four sisters in her books. This one is especially good because Angnes is the type of women we would all like to be in one way or another. The love story between her and the doctor is funny, frustrating, infuriating and wonderful and makes you want to keep reading. I have all her books and can't wait for the next. If you want romance from the heart, here it is.
