4.9/5 (22760 ratings)

Description:Lord Jacob Haddington is tormented by his father’s death, and while his mother is more preoccupied with his single status—his being a thirty-year-old baron—he knows he cannot think about his future without putting his past to rest.One fateful eve, as he’s pursuing a man who he thinks has information, he’s ambushed by highwaymen. Outnumbered, he’s ready to fight for his life…Until a mysterious caped savior arrives to aid him.There’s something odd about the mystery rider, and when he’s pursuing the man again Jacob thinks he’s seeing his savior again, except it’s a lady’s maid. Which doesn’t make much sense.The questions keep mounting as Jacob suddenly finds himself pursuing the mystery rider and trying to discover his father’s killer with someone seeking their own revenge…But can any of this misfortune bring forth happiness?Warning: There are explicit romantic scenes. For mature audiences (+18).--------------ExcerptJacob Haddington’s horse galloped through the cool dark forest as he tried to keep up with the man he hoped had answers. He had done as much as he could to find the identity of his father’s killer, but had run out of threads to follow.That was why he was following a man, trying to keep up with him so they could have a quiet talk. But the man hadn’t gone straight to his house as Jacob had expected him to, so from the club he was riding his horse, staying off the road as he didn’t want to bring unwanted attention to himself.Jacob lost track of the time even if only forty minutes went by, and the busiest and rowdiest part of London was left behind. Because it was July, he didn’t mind the gusts of wind and he was grateful that he wasn’t required to wear further clothes to keep him warm. After all, he still had dinner parties and balls to attend, and it wouldn’t do to be ill in the middle of the season.His mother would be quite displeased with his skipping events, on any basis.Jacob forced his mind to return to the task at hand. This was not the time for distractions. He was urged by the need to find information on his father’s killer, and he refused to allow for any kind of diversions.He focused on trying to hear the man he was following while he also remained aware of his natural surroundings.The man had had a head start and was riding along the road, while Jacob was trailing him through the bordering and concealing woods.He was catching up to the man and was rehearsing the questions he would ask—questions he had thoroughly thought of for weeks. And he suddenly heard the unmistakable sound of horses getting closer and he grunted as he realized he would soon be dealing with highwaymen. And even if they rode past him to get to the man he was pursuing, Jacob would need to ward them off so he could achieve what he needed to do. So he wasn’t particularly content with the outlook of his evening. And as he focused on the sounds, he realized that at least four horses were catching up to him.Jacob had two options. He could maintain his objective and potentially get himself—and the man—hurt—or even killed—or he could try to run away. If he left, he could split the highwaymen and have an easier time dealing with them. He could try to track down the man at a later time. He’d spent months trying to find out his identity as he’d had dealings with his father that had gone beyond a professional connection. But the letters Jacob had found had included codes and pseudonyms, and it was only now that he knew the identity of one of the friends his father had shared serious concerns with.At least Jacob had a name—and he was actually acquainted with the man, too—so finding him at another time, requesting a private meeting or something to that end, wouldn’t be out of the ordinary. Sure, he was anxious, but he could wait another day.So Jacob made a choice, hoping it was the right one.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
