Sinossi

An earl’s son turned highwayman...A spirited young society beauty who is kidnapped...A sinister duke, known as ‘The Black Moth’...Set in the eighteenth century at Georgian England. Disgraced Jack Carstares, now rightful Earl of Wyncham, left England seven long years ago, sacrificing his honour for that of his younger brother when he was accused of cheating at cards. But he is determined not to claim his title and instead turns highwayman.Now he is back, roaming his beloved South Country in the disguise of a highwayman. Not long after his return, he encounters the Black Moth, his old adversary, the notorious Lord Tracy Belmanoir, Duke of Andover, just in time to dispute at the point of his sword the attempted abduction of dark-haired lovely Diana Beauleigh.Once more Jack’s noble impulse to save the day landed him in trouble, but not before sending the villainous duke scurrying. Diana took her gallant rescuer in and nursed his wounds, and soon truer emotions grew between them. But Jack couldn’t stay, for a lady and an outlaw would make a scandalous pair.And the libertine Duke was foiled once, but the society beauty was under siege. The Duke of Andover meant to have her—if not with her assent, then by force. But Diana was not about to surrender her virtue. She had already lost her heart to the handsome mysterious highwayman who rescued her from the Duke. Torn between his tarnished past and the hope for Diana’s hand, Jack had one dangerous chance to reclaim his honour—by defeating the Black Moth for good!

    If the covers of every romance book ever published didn't convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn't heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what's a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that's what. Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.  
     
    Tattoo artist Tai Davis is used to people judging him with a single glance, so it doesn't surprise him when the town's quirky new librarian believes his bad-boy reputation without giving him a chance. He can't help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline's secret matchmaking scheme, he's not above striking a bargain with her. She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can't judge a book--or each other--by the cover.

    Three years ago, Joyce made the most painful decision of her life and walked away from Ethan, the love of her life, without a word. Now, fate cruelly throws them back together when Ethan, now a powerful and cold executive, arrives as the VIP client at the hotel where Joyce works.

As old wounds reopen and unspoken truths simmer beneath the surface, they are forced to confront the burning question: Can love overcome the distance of betrayal and time, or are some steps truly too far to take back? A poignant and gripping tale of love, loss, and the fragile hope of a second chance.
