Blurb: Can innocent young widow Mari Osborne really be a murderess and the notorious leader of the Glory Girls highwaywomen?
Wickedly handsome Nick Falconer would stake his life on it! He's been sent from London to the tranquil English village of Peacock Oak to solve the murder of his cousin Rashleigh and unmask this female Robin Hood. But Nick never expected that Mari would be so intoxicatingly beautiful or so disturbingly luscious. Determined to have her--body, soul and secrets--at any cost, Nick sets out to seduce her with a passion that inflames them both.
But Mari holds much deeper, darker truths than Nick could ever imagine. Despite her fierce resistance, she can't stop her body from yearning for his touch. Can she hide her sinister past from him much longer? Or will trusting the one man she so desperately wants lead her straight to the hangman's noose?
What a fun read. I just got a kick out of these characters. I really enjoyed watching Nick have to reconsider his snap judgements of Mari. There were times where he annoyed the stuffing out of me, but he was a man on a mission. Mari was so complex, her reactions to Nick made for great tension. The secondary characters are just as endearing. I can't wait for the next book. The story just sucked me in, an excellent read.
