But for the women who love them, a hint of danger only makes the heart beat faster, in the stunning debut historical romance The Highwayman by Kerrigan Byrne. STEALING BEAUTYDorian Blackwell, the Blackheart of Ben More, is a ruthless villain. Scarred and hard-hearted, Dorian is one of Victorian London's wealthiest, most influential men who will stop at nothing to wreak vengeance on those who've wronged him...and will fight to the death to seize what he wants. The lovely, still innocent widow Farah Leigh Mackenzie is no exception-and soon Dorian whisks the beautiful lass away to his sanctuary in the wild Highlands...COURTING DESIREBut Farah is no one's puppet. She possesses a powerful secret-one that threatens her very life. When being held captive by Dorian proves to be the only way to keep Farah safe from those who would see her dead, Dorian makes Farah a scandalous proposition: marry him for protection in exchange for using her secret to help him exact revenge on his enemies. But what the Blackheart of Ben More never could have imagined is that Farah has terms of her own, igniting a tempestuous desire that consumes them both. Could it be that the woman he captured is the only one who can touch the black heart he'd long thought dead?  Review citations Romantic Times / Below Average - pg. 26 - 09/01/2015Romantic Times / Excellent - pg. 26 - 09/01/2015Romantic Times / Recommended - Better Than Most - pg. 26 - 09/01/2015Library Journal / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 70 - 08/01/2015Library Journal / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 70 - 08/01/2015Library Journal / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 70 - 08/01/2015Library Journal / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 70 - 08/01/2015Library Journal / Highly Recommended - pg. 70 - 08/01/2015Publishers Weekly - 08/10
