Mistress of the Night (St. James Family #1)

Daring, rebellious, she longed to be a lady, even as she ached for a dangerous love...

Born in an English bawdy house, schooled in the cunning and thievery of the streets, barely escaped from the hangman's noose, exquisite Viveca Lindstrom would be transformed from a wild urchin into an elegant lady.

She would return from the Turkish court to marry a handsome young aristocrat, to build a stable of champion Thoroughbreds. Yet even as her newly acquired polish conquered the peerage, it was the love of Byrne St. James, the darling dark-eyed highwayman, that haunted and held her, taunting her with the promise of madcap adventure, untamed freedom, and wild, rapturous desire.
