Castles
Julie Garwood, 1993
Orphaned and beseiged, Princess Alesandra knew that only a hasty marriage to an Englishman could protect her from the turmoil in her own land. To the amusement of her makeshift guardian, Colin, the younger brother of the Marquess of Cainewood, the bold dark-haired beauty instantly captivated London society. But when she's nearly abducted by her villanous suitor/countrymen, the fighting instincts are fired up in Colin to protect her.
Thinking only to guard her, he sweeps her into a union meant to be a marriage in name only, yet thier first tender kiss ignites a wildfire. As she heads into dangers, he follows, knowing he must make her see him as the only one she needs or could ever want. Now he would risk life itself before losing this one chance at love.
