Defying the World for Her Bodyguard

Faye Sidney is home because her grandfather is dying. She travels with Frazier Norbury, her bodyguard, and to the family she is a girl who has been away studying. She also runs the Mystique Organization, a martial arts group that goes after criminals, and nobody at home knows it. Her grandfather arranges a marriage before he goes, and Faye agrees so that he can die without worrying about her. The husband is Zack Maynard. On the wedding night he leaves to drink with a group of rich men's sons, and when Faye finds them they tell her to pour a round and apologise for the interruption. She has a temper and she gives them a beating instead. Zack and one of the men take Frazier and hold him to bring Faye into line. Frazier will not watch her humiliated on his account and tries to take his own life. He is still between life and death when Faye goes after the men who arranged it.
