She has connections to the Comte Champeraigne. The highwaymen want him dead. Normally they wouldn't have leverage to force her hand, but they have seen that her jewels are fake. They know she isn't who she says she is. She has only been pretending to be a British heiress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe highwaymen aren't who they say they are either. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne of them is the Duke of Dunrose. He's horrible in every way. A playboy and a drunk who looks like an elfin princeling and won't stop calling her 'love.' He's carelessly arrogant, elegantly masculine, intriguing and beguiling, and entirely the worst person she's ever met. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe hates him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTruly, she does. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd she's sure that being maneuvered into a scheme to poison the detestable comte isn't going to change the way she feels about Dunrose. It certainly won't bring them closer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDefinitely not. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis dark historical romance touches on trauma, abuse, and contains some violence.
