The Bodyguard Who Came in from the Cold (Secrets and Vows Book 4)

From USA Today bestselling author Gayle Callen comes the “Secrets and Vows” series, with four couples each bound together by sworn vows, yet divided by secrets. Margery Welles is a favorite of the king, and he gifts her with an immense dowry and the choice of her own husband. She’s not sure she even wants to marry, because of the secret haunting her. With hordes of suitors eager for a wealthy bride arriving to court her, and the king’s deadline approaching, Margery feels trapped by her dilemma—until the arrival of her long-lost friend Gareth Beaumont, who’s matured into a fearsome knight, a man she’s powerfully attracted to. Since childhood, Gareth has sworn to defend Margery, even though he’d been forced to leave England many years ago. But upon learning that she’s in danger, Gareth risks everything to return and act as her bodyguard, even as he pretends to be just another suitor. They both agree their attraction should go no farther, but can the heat of desire growing between them make Gareth long to stay for good?
