My Reading Nook

Lady Julianna Sterling has resolved to have nothing to do with men. Ever since she was cruelly left at the alter at the shocking age of twenty-two (and well past the age for needing any acne cure), she’s avoided anything to do with them.

But when she’s waylaid by a dangerous, unbearably handsome highwayman and taken captive by same, she experiences an unwanted and unwelcome attraction to him. To further complicate her situation, she shoots him, then feels compelled to nurse him back to health which only brings her into closer proximity and allows his charm to steal her heart.

Viscount Dane Granville knows he should not have revealed his face to the enchanting Lady Juliana. He’s now compromised the secret mission he’s undertaken for the Crown as the dreaded and notorious Magpie. How now can he return Julianna to the world she came from without totally compromising her reputation?

More to the point, how can he resist his heart which demands that he court her and win her affections?
