Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2003

To Wed and Protect

When she was entrusted with the young Collingwood heir, Juliana Goodhew never anticipated the atrocious murder of the toddler's parents or the reality of running for her life, baby in tow. Now she had no choice but to place her trust--and her life--in the hands of Hunter Sinclair, the enigmatic man who offered her every means of protection, even marriage.

A wedded alliance with her reclusive guardian would reveal scandalous secrets and draw the killer from the shadows. But would the seductive lure of her brooding husband's kiss prove to be the greatest danger of all?

When a wealthy family is torn apart by greed and murder, only love can protect the Collingwood heirs.

From the Author

I've always loved Cinderella stories. What woman doesn't dream about marrying a man with a castle? A tour of the beautiful castles populating the islands in the Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence Seaway was all the inspiration I needed to come up with Hunter Sinclair, a reclusive multimillionaire with a secret identity, and the butler's daughter who would capture his heart and turn his castle into a home.

This review is from: The Butler's Daughter (The Collingwood Heirs, Harlequin Intrigue Series #722) (Mass Market Paperback)

Juliana (the butler's daughter) is entrusted with Cort, the heir to Collingwood, when the first heir is kidnapped. She and the baby are returning to the parents of the child when the home explodes and kills the parents, and puts her dad in a coma. They immediately call "The Guardian" who is supposed to protect them from harm in case of an emergency. The Guardian marries her for her own protection, and the protection of Cort. The Guardian is Hunter Sinclair, godfather of Cort, and trusted friend of the dead couple. While Juliana and Hunter rush to find the killer, they also find themselves falling in love.

I finished the book in a day. It is not long, but it is a great story, full of intrigue and love. The characters are interesting and have a past that makes their distrust of one another very reasonable. There will be more in the series and I am looking forward to it!
