Learn moreMargerit Sovitre did not expect to inherit Baron Saveze's fortunes—even less his bodyguard, a ruthlessly efficient swordswoman known only as Barbara. Wealth suddenly makes Margerit a highly eligible heiress and buys her the enmity of the new Baron. He had expected to inherit all, and now eyes her fortune with open envy.
Barbara proudly served as the old Baron's duelist but she had expected his death to make her a free woman. Bitterness turns to determination when she finds herself the only force that stands between Margerit and the new Baron's greed.
At first Margerit protests the need for Barbara's services, but soon she cannot imagine sending Barbara away. And Barbara's duty has become something far more hazardous to her heart than the point of a sword. But greater dangers loom than one man's hatred—the Prince of Alpennia is ill. Deadly intrigue surrounds the succession and the rituals of divine power known as The Mysteries of the Saints.

Kitty Kelly is a narrator, voice-over artist, and actress from London, with a degree in drama and theater arts from the University of Birmingham. She also received professional acting training at Drama Studio London. Since graduating from drama school, she has narrated audiobooks for well-known publishers such as HarperCollins, Bolinda, and Scribd, plus independent authors. Her favorite thing about audiobook narration is being able to play the parts that she would never normally get cast as on stage. She loves creating distinctive voices that reflect the characters' personalities and has a good ear for learning new accents. Kitty has a naturally conversational and candid reading style, and likes to establish a sense of familiarity with the listener, so she began her career narrating chick lit, rom-coms, and romance. Thanks to her versatile sound, she now has a wider repertoire, including romantic suspense, historical fiction, mysteries/thrillers, memoirs, and kids books, and would love to try even more genres, particularly self-help books and teen fiction.
