About the Book
When Cressida's father gambles away the family estate, she's approached with an utterly scandalous proposal. One kiss is all Tristan asks for--not an uncommon request from a highwayman. But still, this woman has the nerve to refuse the Duke of St. Raven. Yet there is something about her that tells him she wants much more than a kiss. Original.Book Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author of Hazard--a sizzling and sensual novel of fortune and fate...
A Lady with a Quest...
Cressida Mandeville agrees to Lord Crofton's vile proposal, but secretly she has other plans. She will trick the loathsome man, find her father's hidden wealth, and save her family from ruin. All goes well, until a daring highwayman stops their carriage, whirls Cressida up onto his dark horse, and demands a kiss....
A Duke with a Conscience...Tristan Tregallows, Duke of St. Raven, doesn't plan to rescue a damsel in distress, but he can hardly leave an innocent in Crofton's power. One kiss confirms his prisoner's innocence, but instead of grateful, she is furious. When he discovers that Cressida is on a quest, one that will take her into the darkest parts of Regency society, St. Raven knows he must become her partner and protector. But he doesn't expect the dangers to his heart....
