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
realizes that in the seduction of scandal, she may have
found the hero she’s been waiting for her whole life.
