A historical romance of ruin, redemption, and the love you never meant to find. On the morning of her wedding, Lady Isobel Winthrope climbs out her bedroom window and flees into the forest-leaving behind a silken prison, a cruel fiancé, and the life her father arranged for her. What she doesn't expect to find on the road is a highwayman. Scarred, secretive, and far too clever for his own good, Lachlan MacCallum is no ordinary thief. Once a nobleman, now a fugitive with a past he refuses to name, he's spent years disappearing into shadows. But when he crosses paths with a runaway bride, everything begins to unravel. Reluctant allies on the run, Isobel and Lachlan journey north through haunted forests, crumbling abbeys, and storm-lit inns, pursued by those who want to return her to the altar-and by the ghosts of the lives they left behind. What begins as a dangerous partnership grows into something far more intimate. But as secrets surface and their pasts catch up to them, they must decide whether love is worth trusting again-or whether survival means walking away from the one person who finally saw them.
