Well-plotted historical romance.
Beautiful, highborn Heather Westbrook had nothing left except her mother's priceless pearls. Her father had gambled away everything he owned, and in one last desperate bet he gambled away Heather's hand in marriage. All she wanted was to escape the clutches of the man who'd won her-and who was waiting to claim her virtue. But as she galloped away another plunderer was lying in wait-dashing highwayman Michael McCord. As the handsome desperado wrenched the valuable pearls from her creamy neck, she felt a wave of hot, scorching heat all through her body. Now she had nothing left to lose. She shuddered as he wrapped her tightly in his embrace, pressed his long lean body against her heated flesh, and devoured her lips with rapturous kisses.
