Mistress of the Night

the long version

St. James Family #1 WHO WAS SHE, A LORD'S FINE LADY OR A BOLD HIGHWAYMAN'S LOVE? OR SOCIETY'S DARLING OR... 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 daring dark-eyed highwayman, that haunted and held her, taunting her with the promise of madcap adventure, untamed freedom, and wild, rapturous desire.
