The Outlaw and the Lady by Lorraine Heath

Innocent Angela Bainbridge knows her dreams of a fairy-tale wedding and finding passion in a man's embrace can never come true. So when she's swept into the arms of--and kidnapped by--notorious Lee Raven she's both righteously angry...and curiously captivated. There's something about this brazen outlaw that awakens Angela's desires. She knows any crimes he's committed are for the protection of his family, but Angela realizes that a lifetime together with Lee can never be...Lee Raven knows he's only two steps ahead of the law. But this innocent beauty has his head spinning and his heart longing for something more than a life on the run. She's made it clear that she's determined to discover all of his secrets--but how can he let her learn what's hidden in his past? And how can he let her give him her heart today, when he can't evenpromise her tomorrow?

Lorraine Heath's first narrative, which she wrote at the age of seven, was about a fisherman who fell in love with a mermaid. She's subsequently moved on to writing about sultry cowboys and dashing English lords--sometimes in the same novel, as a cunning twist. She is a master of her craft, according to Publishers Weekly. She is, and she has won the Rita Award, three RT Critics' Choice Awards, and the RT Career Achievement Award, in addition to being a New York Times and USA Today bestseller.
