title: The Saint: A Highland Guard Novel
author:  Monica McCarty 
description: <b>Monica McCarty </b>is the bestselling author of <i>The Viper, The Ranger</i>, <i>The Hawk</i>, and <i>The Chief</i>, the first four books in the Highland Guard series, the Highlander trilogy (<i>Highlander Untamed</i>, <i>Highlander Unmasked</i>, and <i>Highlander Unchained</i>), and the Campbell trilogy (<i>Highland Warrior</i>, <i>Highland Outlaw</i>,<i> </i>and <i>Highland Scoundrel</i>). Her interest in the Scottish clan system began in the most unlikely of places: a comparative legal history course at Stanford Law School. After a short but enjoyable stint as an attorney, she realized that her career as a lawyer set against her husbands transitory life as a professional baseball player was not exactly a match made in heaven. So she traded in her legal briefs for Scottish historical romances with sexy alpha heroes. Monica McCarty lives in the San Francisco Bay area with her husband and their two children.
