The Noble Guardian
A Cross-Country Trip through Regency England Brings Intrigue, Rogues, and High Adventure
Life couldn’t be better for Abigail Gilbert—but it’s been a long time in coming. Having lived with a family who hated her, it’s finally her time for love. Abby sets off on a journey across England to marry one of the most prestigious gentlemen in the land—until highwaymen upset her plans and threaten her life.
Horse patrol captain Samuel Thatcher arrives just in time to save Abby. But she’s simply another victim in a job he’s come to despise. Tired of the dark side of humanity, he intends to buy land and retire.
Abby pleads with him to escort her for the rest of her journey. He refuses—until she offers him something he desperately needs to achieve his goal. . .money. Delivering her safely will give him more than enough to buy property.
So begins an impossible trek for the cynical lawman and the proper lady. Each will be indelibly changed by the time they reach her betrothed, if they don’t kill one another first—or fall in love.
“Michelle Griep has done it again! The Noble Guardian is well written and filled with plenty of action, danger, and romantic tension to keep the pages turning. Her admirable and appealing hero will win readers hearts. ”
“I love this author! Ms. Griep just keeps getting better and better. The Noble Guardian is my new favorite novel! You can’t go wrong with an alpha-male hero who is a protector, noble, and yet flawed in a way that touches your heart, and a heroine who is strong, independent, but in desperate need of love. The story moves along at a good pace with lots of nail-biting action and intense emotional scenes, only to culminate in a highly satisfying and happy tears ending!”
“Remarkable! Griep creates alluring characters woven into unforgettable stories. Daniel is her best hero ever!”
“The dark, brooding Daniel Thatcher gets his story at last in this third of Michelle Griep’s Bow Street Runners, and it does not disappoint! Griep delivers once again with an endearing heroine, a heartwrenching dilemma, and her usual cast of vivid characters. As always, she excels at bringing this time period to life.”
