β¦ Synopsis
Deep in the forest, in a decaying hunting lodge, a curious bond flickers into existence . . .
A LIFE TINGED BY RUIN
β¨BETH CLARKE has earned perhaps the most dubious distinction in England-that of being kidnapped twice in one night. Thirty years old and burdened with new responsibilities, her life is a far cry from the rebellion of her youth. Worse, a greedy land agent has designs on her new fortune. When his attempt to abduct her is waylaid by a band of highwaymen, the thieves' mysterious "Captain" offers Beth a strange salvationβperhaps not only from a cold night, but from a cold past, as well . . .
A PAST MARRED BY MUTINY
β¨RHYS BOOKER was born to a different name, one that he no longer deserves. Cruel turns of fate have brought him here, to a life outside the lawβa life that felt like the only possibility before she came into it. With a robbery gone sideways, he can't simply leave this woman to freeze on the highroads, but with a crew of hungry men depending on him, he can't let her go either . . .
Far from the dangers of the forest and reunited under the gaze of those who rejected them, can their passion ever survive?
