a group of men that society considered expendable all survived the war with napoleon in third son's a charm. each of them played a role on their squadron, but now, back in society, they have to adjust to being expendable again. ewan mostyn is known as the protector, his massive size and brute strength saved more than one of his comrade's lives out in the field. and now that he's returned home, as the unfavored third son of an earl he mainly guards the doors at a gaming club.
ewan prefers to do things with his hands, which isn't what society considers civilized. but that's not the only reason he doesn't fit in. as a child, he had a hard time learning, and even now he is unable to read without getting terrible headaches and mocked for his trouble. when the duke of ridlington offers him a job guarding his daughter in order to prevent her from eloping with ewan's wastrel cousin, francis, he takes the job expecting it to be easy.
but lady lorraine isn't easy. she's stubborn and curious and leaps into things without thinking. she says absolutely every thought that passes through her head. and at first she's terribly annoyed with her father and her relentless giant of a bodyguard. but the more she gets to know the viking, which is what she calls ewan, the more she wonders if she really does know what love is all about. and the more she learns about who ewan is as a person, the more she doubts that francis is telling her the truth. and then she starts to realize that perhaps the man for her is the man who would lay down his life for her in an instant. he's the man she can't stop thinking about. he's the man who she misses when they spend time apart.
ewan loves her. but he doesn't feel worthy. he's so big but his shortcomings have always made him feel small. lady lorraine she's a potential in him that not many others have. but how can the unwanted third son of an earl be the man for the daughter of a fabulously wealthy duke? i loved watching the relationship between ewan and lorrie grow, and i look forward to seeing more of lord draven's men in future series, perhaps a story for each of the remaining eleven survivors?
