Another sweeping historical classic from NYT best-selling author Patricia Rice: England, 1750 In an England divided by class and conviction, a young woman’s courage will be tested against the shadows of a man’s vengeance. When her father, a devout Methodist preacher, is brutally murdered, Faith Montague is left orphaned and penniless. Determined to reach London and find refuge with distant relatives, she sets out alone—only to fall prey to the lawlessness of England’s highways. Her unlikely rescuer is Morgan de Lacy, a notorious highwayman whose noble bearing suggests a past as shadowed as her own future. But Morgan is no savior. Haunted by betrayal and driven by revenge, he lives by his own code of honor, one forged on the edge of a sword. Though he offers Faith protection, he demands her loyalty in return—forcing her into a world where every choice carries mortal risk. As Faith navigates the treacherous currents of Georgian society and the brutal realities of the underworld, she must decide whom she can trust. Morgan’s charm and dangerous allure may mask deeper secrets, and her survival could depend on understanding the truth before it’s too late.
