Thanks, it's nice to hear that a recommendation has been useful
I remembered another series for this thread:
The Alpennia series by Heather Rose Jones. The first novel is "Daughter of Mystery" (there are a couple prequel short stories which I haven't read):
Quote:
Margerit 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.
