The Duke’s Guard is C.H. Admirand’s longest-running series, published by Dragonblade Publishing beginning in 2022. Set in Regency-era England, the books center on the Irish guards sworn to protect the Duke of Wyndmere and his household at Wyndmere Hall in the Lake District. Each novel pairs one of the guards with a love interest while the men deal with threats to the Duke’s family.
The first four books follow the O’Malley brothers, starting with Patrick O’Malley in The Duke’s Sword, where he must work alongside a nanny hired to care for the Duke’s newborn twins as a kidnapper targets the children. The Garahan cousins take over for Books 5 through 8, and then more O’Malleys and the Flaherty brothers carry the series forward. Admirand draws on her own Irish ancestry for the characters’ names, speech patterns, and family loyalty.
