? A forced marriage
? A treasure hunt
? Steamy romance!

Another captivating romance featuring New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal's "outrageously funny, loyal, compassionate, and unconventional" Chase family!

Lady Kendra Chase's brothers insist it's high time she wed. But although they've presented her with many wealthy, titled suitors, no man has caught her fancy -- until her coach is held up by a dashing, mysterious rogue. When she and the scoundrel are caught in a compromising embrace and her overprotective brothers demand they marry, Kendra cannot believe it. Are they really desperate enough to match her with a highwayman?

Scottish-born Patrick "Trick" Caldwell is the Duke of Amberley -- and also the notorious Black Highwayman, an identity he has assumed in order to avenge past wrongs and serve his king. But his already complicated life becomes positively convoluted when he finds himself compelled to marry a red-headed temptress he's only just met. Caught in a web of secrets and half-truths, will Trick be forced to choose between his duty to the Crown and the woman who's destined to steal his heart?
