Randolph Craythorpe - earl, covert operative, and occasional highwayman - believed his dalliance with Lady Felicity Hartwich would lead to marriage. It did, but not to him! The fortuitous arrival of an unwelcome guest provides the perfect opportunity to indulge in a little retaliation.

Emma Newbury accompanies her cousin, Lady Charity Anscombe, to London for the Christmas Season. Once there, she comes face to face with the three men who witnessed the humiliating aftermath of her father’s disgrace - one of whom, to her irritation, has taken up residence in her dreams.

Their infrequent encounters only serve to confuse, but while winter tightens its grip on the city, what was inconceivable becomes the one thing for which they both yearn, yet bound by Society’s rules, cannot admit.

As the snow falls, Randolph begins to understand that to win Emma, he will have to surrender.

NB: This book includes a short excerpt from ‘The Highwayman’s Kiss - the first book in the Surrendered Hearts trilogy, and part of A Regency Duet.
