Pamela Darby needs a man—preferably a Highland brute with more brawn than brains. Determined to save her sister from selling her virtue, the resourceful beauty requires a strapping specimen to pose as a duke’s long-lost heir. Pamela plans to collect the generous reward, then send him on his way. Lucky for the brazen beauty, the seductive, silver-eyed highwayman who just held up their carriage could be her man . . . Connor Kincaid has given up on his dream of restoring his clan’s honor. And now this plucky Englishwoman is asking him to take part in a risky charade that could land them both on the gallows. Never a man to resist a challenge or the allure of a beautiful woman, Connor strikes the devil’s bargain that could seal both their fates. The highwayman and the hellion journey to London as both enemies and allies—a woman who has everything to gain and a man who has nothing to lose…but his heart.
I read the first book in this series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Teresa Medeiros is back with Connor’s story and I’m hopeful that it will be just as great as Some Like It Wicked. Connor intrigued me in that book so I’m more than a little anxious to see him shine in his own story and the storyline for this one seems like a good one so I can’t wait to read it. This book comes out in March 31, 2009 so be sure to keep this book on your radar because this series started off with a bang, you can read my review for Some Like It Wicked, here.
This book is available from Avon. You can pre-order it here.
It looks like an interesting book (and the cover is beautiful), but I can’t help but be reminded of Julia Quinn’s “Lost Duke of Wyndham.” Am I the only one?
It does sound a little like The Lost Duke of Wyndham! Unfortunately I don’t like the cover at all. The green and the pink just don’t go together well for me!
Thanks for the up date Ro!
I’ve never read this author. Beautiful cover!
I liked the first one, too. Looking forward to this one.
Seneca, I really like her historicals. She also has done a whole series of vampire/paranormal historicals, if you like that sort of thing, and the first one was pretty good, but I couldn’t get into them after that,just cause they aren’t really my thing.
