Karalyn Marshall lives for revenge. She wants the officer responsible for her parents' deaths dead, and she'll do anything to achieve that end, including break the law herself. By night, she rides Bodmin Moor as a female "highwayman" who robs only British officers. Perhaps the army will send her prey to her. Adrian Warrick, Marquis of Ravenrook, is a haunted man. For six years he sailed the seas in the guise of pirate, searching for men the English Crown deemed too dangerous to live. Now they are all dead and he has returned to Cornwall. But the ghosts of those who died under his blade haunt him nightly and his soul is slipping away into darkness. Can the love of a woman bent on revenge save him? More, can his love replace her need for retribution?
