Julie Garwood's historical romances are some of my favorite books. This one is one of the best. I am on my fourth copy. I wore 3 out. (Granted I purchased used so they had a head start.)
Lion's Lady is funny (with those laugh out loud moments that get you stared at) and still has adventure, romance, and a few sad points. The dark moments are not too dark in this one. It is a lighter book than Ransom and way lighter than all her contemporary novels (They are a bit too dark for my taste.)
Christina (female lead) is a capable woman and Lyon thinks she needs protecting based on her looks. She lets him believe that she needs protection since she does need his help for some things - like marriage.
To set up the connection with the others - Lyon is Caine's friend and Caine's book is Guardian Angel. The lead female in Caine's story is the sister of Nathan the lead male in The Gift. I cannot tie in the 4th Castles without spoiling plot lines in the others. You can read these in any order, but the surprises and plots are more fun in order:
Lion's Lady, Guardian Angel, The Gift, Castles.
