She belongs to another man.
He belongs to the gallows.

Lady Annabelle Hawksmoor has long since resigned herself to a loveless marriage and a life ruled by duty. But when her carriage is waylaid on a lonely road and she falls into the hands of England's most notorious highwayman, everything she thought she knew about honour, desire, and herself begins to unravel.

Gabriel Locke lives by his own laws – a man of untamed instincts and an iron code that bends for no one. Feared by travellers and hunted by the authorities, he has no use for titled ladies and even less for the dangerous longings they awaken. Yet the defiant beauty he takes from that darkened road proves far harder to resist than any king's ransom.

As what begins in mistrust soon deepens into fascination, and fascination into a passion neither can outrun, Annabelle finds herself drawn into a world far removed from the glittering cages of polite society. But every stolen embrace carries a price, and with enemies closing in and scandal waiting to destroy them both, she must decide whether to return to safety and silence...

Or burn down the only life she has ever known for a man the world has already condemned.

The Highwayman & the Lady of Hawksmoor Hall is a dark, steamy historical romance novella for mature readers.
