England, 1791.
A silver coach, a moonlit heath, and a single kiss at pistol-point.
From that moment Lady Rosamund Ashworth and the outlaw "Black Thorn" are bound by scandal, desire, and a secret that can send them both to the gallows.
He robs for justice, she flees for freedom.
Together they race across drawing-rooms, battle-fields and rain-soaked vineyards-pursued by muskets, marriage contracts, and the man who would own them both.
But every mile they steal is a mile closer to the noose.
And the only thing tighter than the trap is the love they were never meant to feel.
BLACK THORN & BONNY ROSE is a sweeping tale of highwaymen and hidden hearts, of exile and vineyards, of choosing to plant a rose and a thorn side by side-and daring the world to pull them up.
A novel of passion, pistols, and the price of choosing your own road.
