Lady Rosamund Devere has no interest in becoming the wife
of a dull prince, no matter how perfect the newspapers
think she is for that role. But not even the
unconventional Rosamund could imagine the headline the
papers will soon be running: the one where she is the
willing hostage of a condemned murderer.
Yet Richard Maitland is no ordinary criminal. Steely-eyed,
arrogant, and dangerously attractive, the ex-chief of His
Majesty’s Secret Service is also, as far as Rosamund is
concerned, guilty as sin.
Caught up in his daring escape on the eve of his
execution, Rosamund, who can handle a gun as well as any
man and is not afraid to use it, soon finds herself in
every bit as much danger as Richard. For the more she
learns about this mysterious lone wolf of a man, the more
determined she is to help him clear his name.
But even more perilous than the conspiracy surrounding
Richard is the passion that ignites between them — a
passion that is rash, reckless, and impossible to resist.
