Desire and Deceive (Silk and Steel#2)

FREEDOM IS HER DREAM, BUT LOVE IS HER DESTINY

Megan Wakefield refuses to wed the man chosen for her by King Edward, and so disguises her loveliness to ward him off. Heiress to an impoverished estate, she must rob to feed her staff, yet the spirited young woman has vowed never to give up her cherished independence for any man.

But Megan's life changes the night she is caught thieving, and is rescued by Royce, a mysterious outlaw.

Out of the night he comes to save her from arrest and certain doom. And when his hungry bandit's lips devour hers, the raven-haired beauty's fate is sealed. For even as she wonders who he really is, the woman in her soul stirs, and Megan plunges headlong into forbidden love and high adventure...
