Gentleman's Master — Jo Ann Ferguson

Tonight is the first night of their honeymoon. Lady Priscilla anticipates a thrilling time with her dashing husband, Sir Neville Hathaway, far from family and friends. But when their carriage is halted by a highwayman, she discovers the excitement they are about to share isn't what she expected. She and Neville are about to embark on another investigation of murder most macabre. Obligations from Neville's past demand that he make a bargain with the leader of the highwaymen. If he does not, Priscilla will die. Neville is drawn back into the life he once knew--a life that straddled both sides of the law. He--and Priscilla--agree to help the highwaymen find who hunts them as if they were beasts. As they work with the highwaymen in a strange alliance, Priscilla and Neville know that friend and foe alike intend to halt their investigation. If they want to enjoy their first night in each other's arms, they must find the truth fast...and without making a fatal mistake.
