The Lass and the Thief (Highlands’ Partners in Crime #28)

"I thought ye were done asking for permission, lass."

Lady Nora Sinclair is blindfolded when the wheel breaks.

Her bridegroom’s orders. She rides north to pay her brother’s debts, and the Highlands’ most notorious outlaw pulls her from the wreck.

He says he drove the bandits off.

He was the bandit.

The Highland laird she is to marry was his target. Then he wanted her instead.

Callan Blackwood does not remember every carriage he stopped.

Her parents died in one of them.

She demands he teach her to fight. The lesson ends with her pinned, fingers laced above her head.

Neither of them stops.

She is still promised to the laird’s bed.

And Callan would rather hang than let him have her.
