The Lord's Scandalous Mistress

The last thing Mrs. Isabel Hall expected was to be dressed as man and armed with a pistol, on a midnight ride through the countryside. She was a respectable matron until her dying husband’s revelation forced her hand. Unbeknownst to her, Mr. Hall was a member of a wretched smuggling gang, that has been gripping the county and destroying lives. Now, Isabel must risk her life in a perilous game not of her making.

Lord Nicholas Lynde has always enjoyed a carefree life as a young bachelor, deliberately avoiding all things scandalous. When he returns home to find a marauding gang of thieves on his father’s land, he must act swiftly, regardless of the danger.

But he didn’t expect one of the smugglers to be a beautiful, spirited young widow who makes him question all of his rules. A battle of wills begins, with neither fully trusting the other, but ever so tempted to. Will Isabel and Nicholas find an ally in each other, or maybe something better?
