A lady in need of protection...Suffering through a short marriage to an enemy of Scotland, Lady Emilia MacCulloch manages to escape just before her husband dies. But the Ross Clan will stop at nothing to get her back, for she plays a big part in their plans to thwart Robert the Bruce. She fears not only for her life, but for her family who will be labeled traitors. Placed by her king as a governess in the household of a devastatingly handsome warrior, Emilia finds herself drawn to the man when she had previously sworn off love altogether. His passion, charisma, loyalty, and strength shake the very foundation she's built around her heart.A warrior in need of saving...Ian Matheson has spent his entire life trying to prove himself. To belong. When his father passes away and his mother takes her vows at a nearby abbey, he is suddenly left in a position he was wholly unprepared for. And then his father's dozen illegitimate children arrive on his doorstep in need of a father figure of their own. They are adorable and reckless, and he's certain they'll drive him mad. Just when he thinks he might actually need to find a wife to help him, Lady Emilia is presented to him by the king. She needs his protection and he needs her help with the bairns. Ian is tempted by her angelic face, her fiery tongue, and the secrets that surround her. He must resist the growing desire that's laying claim within him. He must prove to his clan that he is a worthy leader. But maybe, just maybe, he can have the respect of his people and Emilia, too.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Eliza Knight is an award winning, USA Today and international bestselling author. Her love of history began as a young girl when she traipsed the halls of Versailles and ran through the fields in Southern France. She can still remember standing before the great golden palace, and imagining what life must have been like. Growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, her weekends were filled with visits to museums, and historical reenactments. Escape into history for courageous heroines, irresistible heroes and daring escapades. Join Eliza (sometimes as E.) on riveting historical journeys that cross landscapes around the world. She is a member of the Historical Novel Society and Novelists, Inc., the creator of the popular historical blog, History Undressed, a co-host on the History, Books and Wine podcast and a co-host for the true crime podcast, Crime Feast.

While not reading, writing or researching for her latest book, she tries to keep up with her three not-so-little children. In her spare time (if there is such a thing…) she likes daydreaming, wine-tasting, traveling, hiking, staring at the stars, watching movies, shopping and visiting with family and friends. She lives atop a small mountain with her own knight in shining armor, three princesses, two very naughty Newfies, and a turtle named Fish.

Look for STARRING ADELE ASTAIRE a story full of glitz and glam, delving into the life of Adele Astaire, a spirited and talented woman who served up smiles and love both on and off the stage—with and without her also famous brother Fred Astaire— along with a determined young dancer with rags-to-riches dreams. Coming in June 2024, THE QUEEN'S FAITHFUL COMPANION.

4.0 out of 5 stars STRONG HEROINE AND UNIQUE STORY LINE
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2018

I enjoy this author's writing style. The story line isn't cookie cutter and very touching what our h endured. What her parent's did was normal for this time period, but still was hard to not feel her pain.

Our H has his doubts about being the rightful heir. We don't learn until near the end why he has these doubts. I was baffled why this info was kept from him. The children added to the story and wished they had more of a part near the end, it was like they were forgotten.

If you are familiar with this author, you are aware she knows how to write a love scene. There first time (within marriage), was somewhat far fetched and I felt sorry for our h. Also, after a battle (as another reviewer mentioned), he doesn't care or check on his men, and just go up to finish what was interrupted. That is why I lowered my rating, not realistic.

There is some drama, suspense and twists I didn't see coming which is nice. We do get HEA, no cliffhanger and no cheating. I haven't read all the books in the series, and will say it is a stand alone. I am not going into the blurb as many have explained it better than I can. Just what you may discover when you read it. I do recommend this story. (ljb)

I love the Scottish Warrior stories, this one was excellent. A young woman is forced into a marriage to save her family, a young man becomes the leader of his clan and fate brings them together. Both have secrets and enemies that could become dangerous for their lives. There are twists and plots that had me glued to my reader. This series is awesome.

Lady Emilia MacCulloch is a pawn in a dangerous game...Running for her life from ruthless traitors to Scotland, she finds safety and shelter in the castle of Laird Ian Matheson. They each need the other, as Emilia is in danger from enemies, and Ian desperately needs a Governess for the dozen illegitimate children of his Father that arrived quite suddenly on his doorstep. Each harbor insecurities, each harbor secrets.

I enjoyed the flow of the story, as Ian is cautious of, but increasingly drawn to, the sweet and lovely Emilia. She is brave, strong, and gifted in dealing with the children in her care. Ian is simply a marvelous Hero...fiercely protective, tender, thoughtful, supportive, loyal, honorable...
they compliment each other beautifully!

What a winning combination Eliza Knight has created - Fast-paced, exciting plot, PLUS a wonderful leading Lady and Gentleman EQUALS A splendid read!

Even though the storyline wasn't completely believable, I was okay with it. I wasn't thrilled with the way the ending was just to quick of a turn around, because the beginning took to much time. If felt more like a square peg being forced into a round hole. Still, Eliza Knight is a very good writer and it would not have worked if she wasn't so experienced.

4.0 out of 5 stars Governess for Twelve
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2016

It's not easy to accept that you are to be sold to the highest bidder-by your parents. Our heroine is and manages to survive a very horrendous arranged marriage. Her husband's last act, prior to death, is to make plans for her escape. Robert the Bruce arranges to hide her from those who wish to kill her. She is to be a governess to twelve children.

I love the Hero in this book. He takes in the children-not his-because it is the right thing for the children. The give and take between the Hero and Heroine is believable and humorous.

The unveiling of the villain was surprising and disappointing for me. (It worked very well for the plot, but I wish that it had been another character.)

It's a fun read for an afternoon or evening and, even though it is part of a series, is easily a standalone book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emily's and Ian - Book 5
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018

Please read this book, it's different than any of the others. Very seldom do I cry or laugh, especially reading a book, but this one had me crying at the end and laughing at Ian's wit throughout the book. I read several books a week and this book raised my emotions to the surface. Ms Knight certainly ended this series on a very high note! Best book in the series and I think you'll agree when you read it. At the first, some things were mentioned that I didn't understand, but it all tied in beautifully at the end, so don't give up on this book, it kept my interest, in fact through the night. I'd doze off, wake up, read some more and just finished it at 6:24 this morning. Happy Reading!!!

Enjoyed this book. Bit confused about the end of Clan Ross, but I might have been confused in a previous book. I should have read this Conquered Bride Series books along with the Stolen Brides Series as they interlink . Along with the Sutherland Legacy Series they are fantastic stories.
