Brentwood's Ward
Book 1 of the The Bow Street Runners series
314 pages · First published 2015
Bow Street lawman Nicholas Brentwood accepts an unusually well-paid assignment guarding wealthy Emily Payne because the money could help his ailing sister. Emily is determined to find a husband during the London season and considers her rough-edged guardian an irritating obstacle rather than an ally. A series of threats and mishaps makes it clear that someone has more serious plans for her than disrupting courtship. Michelle Griep’s Regency romantic suspense pairs a practical lawman and a privileged young woman whose mutual irritation changes as danger strips away their assumptions about each other.
