Highlander's Magic (Highlander Heat #2)

Twenty-one-year-old New Zealander Lydia Sands witnessed the hit-and-run of a powerful man’s son. Her bodyguard is shot when the killer returns to dispose of her and The Program puts her in hiding. A year later, the case remains unsolved and her handler needs to get her further from the killer’s reach. Lydia detests the thought of being close enough to endanger the man who nearly died protecting her, even if it’s aboard a super-yacht traveling the South Pacific.

Tyler Whitehall’s shooting stole weeks from his memory. Physically recovered, he oversees security for Whitehall Shipping. While on a family holiday, Tyler is suspicious of the woman accompanying them without notice or security clearance, as his nephew’s caregiver. Stronger than suspicion is his incomprehensible attraction to her, and his instinct to protect her.

Once sensitive information is leaked, Lydia undergoes re-identification to evade a killer and protect the man who’d die to save her. Her bodyguard has just begun his pursuit, and she may have underestimated his abilities.

Chapter 1


A light breeze swirled, scratching nettles against my face where I crouched within the bushes near the enemy’s battle-training arena. I swatted the brush aside, wishing it were just as easy to eliminate the protectors I could never get rid of.

“Lieska, I can’t believe you did this.” Hope, my princess and friend, shoved a pesky branch out of her way. “Why’d you teleport us right into the enemy’s camp?”

“My warrior hunter instincts are on alert, and this is where they led me.”

“A little warning would’ve been nice.”

“Shh, keep your voice down. If we’re found here, it’d look suspicious.”

“Ya think?”

“Hey, you’re the one always up for an adventure.”

“This isn’t a flippin’ adventure.” She blew out a long breath. “Maybe if we acted like normal people, we’d be less likely to catch a second glance.”

“Or you could consider this a training exercise. Your new skills could use the practice.”

“And hiding out in a bush is called practice?”

“It’s called scouting, and it’ll be a handy addition to your warrior arsenal.”

“Yeah, but Silas is one of the enemy. I don’t need to be scouting here.” Hope peered through the bushes, her long blond hair snagging in the scrub. “He trains in this arena every morning. If he saw me without protection this close to his hangout, I’d be in big trouble.”

“I am your protection. Huh, I can’t believe you’re mated to the enemy, and your twin is soul-bound to their prince. What is this world coming to? Next thing you know, they’ll be no protectors on Magio left for me to fight.”

“Actually, the few protectors Faith and I’ve met haven’t been all that bad.” Hope squeezed my arm. “Sorry. Don’t hate me for saying that.”

“Your opinion is skewed. Silas ensures you don’t meet any of the protectors outside his inner circle. Prince Davio does the same with Faith.”

“Yeah, which means they’ll be hundreds of protectors in there I don’t know, and shouldn’t know.” Her gaze narrowed, and the deep violet denoting her strong Wincrest line, targeted on me. “That is danger times hundreds in case you weren’t counting.”
