She shot his hat off. He stole her heart. Now they must outrun the gallows-or die together. Cornwall, 1751. Lady Seraphina de Montfort is done with men who wield power like a blade-especially her scheming brother-in-law, Vere, who'll stop at nothing to claim her estate. and her body. But when a masked highwayman with Mayfair manners and a price on his head pulls her coach to a halt on Bodmin Moor, Seraphina doesn't flinch-she fires. Captain Gabriel Hawke, disgraced dragoon and master smuggler, should flee.
Instead, he's enchanted. And when Vere brings dragoons to her door, Gabriel offers a devil's bargain: protection. at a price. What follows is a dangerous alliance of gunpowder, secrets, and forbidden desire-through midnight coves, masquerade balls, and the scaffold's shadow. As enemies close in and betrayal cuts deeper than steel, Seraphina and Gabriel must choose: survive alone. or burn the world down together. A sweeping, enemies-to-lovers historical romance with the grit of *Outlander, the daring of The Scarlet Pimpernel, and the heat of Julia Quinn-perfect for readers who crave strong heroines, roguish heroes, and love that defies an empire.
