Kiss of the Highwayman

"The Highwayman Comes Riding..."

Nothing can stop Artemis Rothwell from making her London come-out. Not even rumors of vicious highwaymen, a gang of gentlemen who have turned to robbing—sometimes even killing—innocent travlers. But to be on the safe side, clever Artemis and her stepmother have left their jewels at home. All their jewels, that is, except the Rothwell ring...

The nightmarish legend comes true when the highwaymen appear and seize the ring from the Rothwell ladies. Even more disturbing, however, is the passionate kiss that one of the thieves gives Artemis—along with a whispered promise to restore the ring. Now the girl has no idea what to think. But the arden kiss has etched its memory on her lips...and Artemis lives for the moment when her masked man will fulfill his promise.
