Warrior's Pledge — Kara Griffin

In a time when a pledge means everything, a Highland warrior seeks justice. But he must put his quest for vengeance aside when a lovely lass asks for his help. Colin MacKinnon promises to protect Julianna and escort her to her friend's home in Scotland. As her secrets unravel, Colin comes to care for her. There's only one thing standing in his way -- her companion, a man who aspires to be a wizard. Colin must perform a bit of magic of his own or possibly risk losing her.

Julianna Bentley cannot reveal who she really is, lest it cause danger for all. Guarding her secrets and hiding in the Highlands is the only way to assure her safety. When a handsome laird offers his help, she takes him up on his offer. She must choose between them -- the arrogant laird or the misguided wizard. But Julianna doesn't believe in magic and her choice might change her life's path forever.
