Plus grand que le ciel

Virginie Grimaldi

Description

From a New York Times bestselling author and her daughter

England & Scotland, 1668: Lady Kendra Chase's brothers insist it's high time she wed. But although they've presented her with an abundance of suitable young men, no one has caught her fancy--until her coach is held up by a dashing, mysterious highwayman. When the two of them are caught in a compromising embrace and her overprotective brothers demand they marry, Kendra is aghast. Are they really desperate enough to match her with an outlaw?

Scottish-born Patrick "Trick" Caldwell is the new Duke of Amberley--and also the so-called Black Highwayman. But he's about to learn that leading a double life isn't nearly as complicated as marriage. When he's compelled to wed beautiful, headstrong Kendra, he finds himself caught between his perilous secret mission and his watchful new bride. Can Trick untangle the web of half-truths and heartache before he loses his one chance at love?
