The Highlander Who Protected Me



Bestselling author Vanessa Kelly returns with an enthralling new series about the men of the Kendrick clan--and the women who claim their hearts amid the gorgeous backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. When a baby is born out of wedlock, heiress Lady Ainsley Matthews must choose between marrying her cruel ex-fiancé or leaving her child in the care of the love of her life, never able to see either again.

Bestselling author Vanessa Kelly returns with an enthralling new series about the men of the Kendrick clan—and the women who claim their hearts . . .
 
Lady Ainsley Matthews, heiress and darling of the ton, was expected to make a magnificent match. Instead she’s hiding on a remote Scottish estate, terrified that her vicious former fiancé will use her pregnancy to force her into marriage. One man can help her—Royal Kendrick, son of a distinguished Highland clan. Though a mistake drove them apart long ago, Royal is the only person Ainsley trusts to protect her baby—even if that means agreeing to never see either of them again . . .
 
Scarred in body and soul by war, Royal suddenly has a purpose—caring for an innocent babe and thereby helping the woman he can’t stop loving. But when Ainsley ultimately returns to Scotland, determined to be a real mother to her child in spite of the risk, there’s only one solution: marriage. And only one likely outcome: surrendering to the desire that’s simmered between them for so long, no matter how dangerous it may be . . .

Praise for Vanessa Kelly

"My Fair Princess is my favorite book of 2016!"--Bronwen Evans, USA Today bestselling author

"Kelly's Improper Princesses Regency series opens gallantly with well-thought-out characters, mad cap adventures, and London's cunning, cagey elite...A fun ride with a colorful, adventurous heroine and a happily disconcerted, formerly perfect hero."-- Publishers Weekly on My Fair Princess

"Kelly launches her new Improper Princesses series with another superbly crafter Regency historical romance that puts a clever spin on My Fair Lady while at the same time delivering the usual elegant writing, tempered with a deliciously dry wit and artfully nuanced characters readers have come to expect from her."-- Booklist on My Fair Princess

"Kelly's pacing is brilliant and there are snappy bits of dialogue and sticky situations galore...Fans of a friends to lovers romance will find Three Weeks with a Princess to be utterly charming...Packed with humor and a well-balanced cast of characters, this is a lovely addition to a series that just keeps getting better."--Bookpage on Three Weeks with a Princess
