The White Raven
An innocent in love - with an armed and ruthless man... Beautiful but cloistered, Elisabeth St. Mary faced the unsettling prospect of marriage to a loutish, older man...in a match sanctioned by the grandfather she dared not confront. Then on a storm-swept Devon night, a handsome stranger held her in his strong arms, and Elisabeth trembled with ecstasy and fear. The thief-taker known all along the Cornish coast, Cain had been summoned to Bridestone Barrow to catch a village burglar. But how could Elisabeth tell her grandfather that the infamous, blade-wielding Cain had stolen her heart? And why did she, even as she yearned for him, feel she could not trust him? In her wildest dreams, Elisabeth could not have imagined the secret that had drawn Cain to her; a secret as mysterious as the white raven ring he coveted...as torturous as the torment that drove him...and as undeniable as the love that could unite them both in triumph.
