Romance

It's never wise to blackmail a highwayman. Lady Corinne, rebellious daughter of the duke of Banfield, refuses to marry Lord Freddie Sherwin. Yes, he's the catch of the season and the man her father chose for her. He's also the most despicable male of her acquaintance. With her wedding only weeks away, she runs away and finds herself a prisoner of the notorious Thorn! Who says the devil isn't a woman? The rich and powerful tremble at the highwayman's name, while England's villagers rejoice in his bold exploits. His identity is a secret; his life a mystery - -until Lady Corinne tumbles into his arms. If the Thorn wants her silence, he must hide her until her wedding day passes. It's a devil's bargain and one that can only lead to a hangman's noose. Corinne believes it the perfect plan -- until her highwayman reveals a passionate lover's heart, and she realises that in the seduction of scandal, she may have found the hero she's been waiting for her whole life.
