Highwaywoman

by
Niamh Murphy

 

Evelyn Thackeray, the
spirited daughter of a wealthy aristocrat, is en route to meet her future
husband, when a gang of vicious outlaws attacks her stagecoach. In spite of
Evelyn’s terror, she is intrigued by the leader of the gang, a beautiful
Highwaywoman called Bess. Increasingly entranced by Bess and the prospect of
adventure, Evelyn puts up little resistance when she is kidnapped. However, she
begins to suspect there is a lot more to her captor than she initially thought
and what started as a light-hearted escapade rapidly turns into a desperate
escape and a frantic struggle for survival

Niamh Murphy’s debut
novel is not just a swashbuckling lesbian romance, but also a gripping tale of
love and betrayal.
