A SWASHBUCKLING TALE OF A BEAUTIFUL PICKPOCKET AND THE NOTORIOUS HIGHWAYMAN WHO KIDNAPS HER, THEN TAMES HER WITH PASSION...

Alone and penniless after the Great Plague of London, young Desire Guildford turned pickpocket rather than sell her body on the streets. But she picked the wrong pocket when she stole from highwayman Morgan lkenchard. Morgan returned for his valuables-and for the green-eyed beauty who had dared to best him, carrying her off with him on his stallion. Forced to take part in Morgan's life of daring adventure, Desire found herself dangerously fascinated by the darkly charismatic man who held her captive, by the hunger in his eyes when he looked at her, and by the answering flame in her own heart...

From the poverty of London's back streets to the elegance of King Charles' court, from the tragedy of the Great Plague to the epic disaster of London's. Great Fire, here is Diana Haviland at her unforgettable best!
