“A wonderful story about a beautiful girl who dresses as a highwayman for the adventure of it, and opines about politics during a time when the definition of freedom is tested and the power of the government is questioned. Sovay must learn to deal with unexpected betrayal and political distrust between England and France.”
— Jessica Palacios, Once Upon a Time, Montrose, CA
Description
In 1794 England, the beautiful Sovay dons a man's cloak and holds up stagecoaches in broad daylight. Posing as a highway robber began as a lark to test a suitor's devotion. But when she lifts the wallet of one of England's most dangerous men, Sovay begins to unravel a web of deceit and duplicity. Acclaimed author Celia Rees' talent for romance and intrigue are sure to thrill a paperback audience.
