The Outlaw's Heiress: She never thought she would have a second chance

By Mary James

In late 18th-century England, a disgraced young heiress fights to reclaim her name.
He is a dangerous outsider shaped by secrets and survival.
In this clean historical romance, their forbidden love defies scandal, class, and fate.

Once, Lady Isobel Rutledge was destined for a brilliant future-until betrayal shattered her name and drove her into exile. Hiding along a rugged coastal village, she survives by keeping her head down and her past buried, believing safety lies in being unseen.

Michael Everhart lives by different rules. A feared smuggler and reluctant protector of the coast, he has built his life on vigilance, restraint, and sacrifice. Loving anything too openly has only ever led to loss.

When Isobel's past resurfaces-and corruption tightens its grip on the village-Michael becomes her shield, her ally, and the one man who refuses to see her as ruined. As danger escalates and the truth threatens powerful enemies, their connection deepens into something neither of them can afford... and neither can deny.
