The Devil's Coin

By Lavinia Ashford

She stole the truth. He stole her heart. Together, they'll risk everything to destroy an empire built on blood.

October 1754. Lady Eleanor Ashford is returning to her husband's estate when her carriage is stopped by the infamous "Knight of the Heath"-a masked highwayman whose voice betrays a gentleman's education and whose eyes see far too much. Among her stolen possessions is a letter that could unravel her marriage... and expose her husband's darkest secret: his fortune is built on the slave trade.

Captain Alexander Hartley never meant to become a thief. Disowned, disgraced, and hunted, he survives by robbing the wealthy-until one woman's defiance ignites a spark he thought long extinguished. When Eleanor discovers the ledger proving her husband's crimes, she makes a choice that will change both their lives forever.

Now fugitives in a world that offers no mercy to women who defy their husbands or men who steal from the powerful, Eleanor and Alexander must outwit bounty hunters, Bow Street Runners, and the chilling threat of a private asylum. Their only hope lies in a desperate alliance with London's underground abolitionist network-and in the fragile trust growing between two broken souls who've known nothing but cages.

The Devil's Coin is a gripping historical romance of rebellion, redemption, and forbidden love-where every risk is a prayer, and freedom is the only prize worth dying for.

Perfect for fans of Outlander, Alias Grace, and The Gilded Hour.
