The Guardian's Favor: Border Series Book 9 Cecelia Mecca

Following his heart might cause a war. Is a second chance at love worth the risk?

The Guardian
Aidan de Sowlis finds purpose in guarding his family and his clan. He tells himself such a life is enough for him, but cannot dismiss the memory of the woman he wished to wed. Lady Clarissa now belongs to another man--or so he thinks. When the Scottish warden sends Aidan to England to negotiate with the lady's father, a final effort to secure the peace along the border, he's shocked to see her. She stops him before he can leave with a simple word: "help."

The Favor

Lady Clarissa would rather become a nun than face another arranged marriage--the fate her cruel father will undoubtedly foist on her now that her elderly husband has secured an annulment. She knows Aidan de Sowlis, the man she left, is the last person she should ask for help, yet he's the only one she trusts. Aidan and Clarissa soon discover their feelings for each other are as strong as ever, but her father would never approve, and his cooperation is crucial for securing peace on the border. Do they dare risk it for love?
