ISBN:
Althea Hartley has lost her spark. As the youngest daughter of an eccentric family, playwrighting is in her blood. But two failed Seasons have left her disenchanted. In desperate need of inspiration, she takes matters into her own hands by creating a tale of a dashing highwayman. What could possibly go wrong?
But her stories prove to be a little too true for the actual highwayman living beneath the tons’ nose.
Jasper Trueblood, Viscount St. James, needs to put an end to the bewitching Miss Hartley’s incriminating tales. Society can never suspect that he isn’t the clumsy oaf he pretends to be. Or that, under the cover of darkness, he greets scoundrels and lightens their purses. Not too much. Just enough to keep those closest to him safe from his menacing uncle.
Then sparks fly when this unlikely pair meets one perfect night. And while she is eager to unmask him, he is determined to stay hidden. But there’s no denying the chemistry that neither of them are able to resist…
The only thing for certain is that Thea needs to guard her heart before the highwayman steals it.

Excerpt
Thea swallowed and surveyed the room for a glass of water. Her gaze went from St. James, to the table and chair, to the bed.
Hmm . . . there seemed to be something missing. And it wasn’t the water.
As he stood, her attention drifted back to the bed. “Where do you plan to sleep?”
“In that bed.”
Her brow furrowed as she slid a glance to him. “And where will I sleep?”
“With me, of course.” His matter-of-fact delivery did nothing to quell the sudden jump of her pulse as he casually untied his cravat. “I can hardly trust you alone. But fear not, there will be no improper advances. You will be beneath the coverlet. I will be on top of it with a bolster pillow wedged between us. I presume that would be preferable to being tied to that chair?”
“Tied to the—” Her mouth snapped shut as she stared at the length of black silk he absently tossed onto the table. If she required further proof that he found her conversation utterly boring and saw her as little more than a nuisance, she certainly had it. “How magnanimous of you.”
