Declan Deveraux, the Earl of Worthington, is a man who knows one thing for certain - he will never marry for love. With that aim, he pursues only the most vain, and spoiled, women of the Ton. Fate has other plans for him, however, and he’s made guardian to Alex Kendrick, a female he likes – God forbid. Now Declan has to get her suitably married, before he succumbs to the temptation to make this fiery temptress his own.
Alex, a rapier-wielding countess in her own right, doesn’t welcome a guardian and crosses swords with him at every opportunity. In spite of their less than auspicious beginning, she soon discovers Declan’s quick wit and Black-Irish looks inspire an emotion she can’t ignore, love. Now the battle is for Declan’s heart, because Alex will accept nothing less.

Author Dawn Ireland utilizes a fast pace to provide an utterly provocative read. I fell in love with the unique characters, the old world setting and the riveting plot. The protagonists, Alex and Declan, are mighty opposites, almost Shakespearian in scope and depth. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these two headstrong and independent characters and accompanying them on their journey to happily ever after. Love's Guardian is ripe with accessible emotion delivered via sharp writing. If you love history and romance, read it! You won't be disappointed.

Alex Kendrick’s life takes a dark turn when her beloved grandfather dies. But things quickly go from bad to worse when she discovers he appointed a guardian for her. Why would he chose Declan Deveraux, Earl of Worthington, the man she resents for turning her life upside down once before?
The Earl, however, wants to get Alex married off as quickly as possible. Because he likes her. And Declan has no intention of getting involved with a woman he likes. He wants a wife he could never fall in love with, so he chooses a spoiled, self-centered woman as a prospective bride.
Little does Declan know Alex has other ideas--and they include him. Can she change his mind about marrying for love?
I thoroughly enjoyed Love’s Guardian. Dawn Ireland has written a rich, enjoyable story with characters you’ll remember for a long time. Rapier-wielding Alex is an independent, strong woman who knows what she wants and goes after it. The Earl of Worthington doesn’t have a chance.
