Description
He lived by night--the dark, dangerous highwayman who stole her heart.... "It was a fine night for treachery, dark with a pale moon rising...." Like a wraith he appeared in the Coventry night, the notorious highwayman called Captain Starlight. Renée d'Anton watched, breathless, as the cloaked figure commanded, "Stand and deliver!" and her coach shuddered to a halt. Little did he know Renée had come in desperation to meet him. For the dark, seductive highwayman was her only hope in show more a perilous game of chance.... She was pure temptation, challenging Tyrone Hart to steal a set of heirloom rubies and name his price. He couldn't resist her. So he agreed to risk his life for the fiery beauty--to recover the jewels that would free her from an arranged marriage and an unspeakable threat. But first Renée had to win his trust--even as she ignited passions that seduced him out of the shadows to sweep her into his arms.... Bestselling, award-winning author Marsha Canham once again delivers dangerous intrigue, sensuous romance, and two unforgettable characters whose love story will touch your heart as it takes your breath away. show lessTags

Okay, now that I've finished this gets a meh. I never really got invested with the characters, particularly the dashing hero. The bad guys are SUPER EXTREMELY VERY BAD, the heroine is unceasingly described as pale and slender and in possession of pale and slender limbs/throat/whatever, and the hero has lots of scars. It just wasn't for me. The writing is fine, and if you're a fan of historical romance/highwaymen/the aftermath of the French Revolution, it might work better for you.
