Moonstruck Madness
400 pages
A tempestuous, sweeping historical romance where a fiercely independent highwayman heroine clashes with an arrogant duke in a battle of wills and passion.
What it feels like
Reading this classic historical romance feels like being swept up in a breathless, tempestuous storm of high-stakes adventure and fiery passion. The mood is unapologetically dramatic, plunging the reader into a world of moonlit highway robberies, lavish ballrooms, and intense, combative romance. The prose is lush and feverish, perfectly matching the melodramatic clashes between a fiercely rebellious, cross-dressing heroine and a domineering, arrogant hero. It moves at a brisk, action-packed pace, balancing thrilling escapades with a turbulent emotional tug-of-war. This is a book for readers who love the raw, unpolished intensity of vintage bodice-rippers, where love is a battlefield, identities are hidden, and surrender is hard-won but ultimately swoon-worthy.

About the book
Dominick Saga book 1
In the blazing age of Scottish highwaymen, beautiful, aristocratic Lady Sabrina Verrick falls in among rogues and assassins to defend her home... thwart her father's cruelty... and to quell her own irresistible passion for Lucien Dominick, Duke of Camareigh--whose bold daring must conquer her and unite them in a sweet, burning and everlasting love!
By day she was Lady Sabrina Verrick, exquisite belle of high society. By night she was a criminal, Bonnie Charlie, the lawless highwayman whose notoriety rang the length and breadth of 18th century England.
Wounded and on the run, hunted like an animal through the night, Sabrina's wild career drove her at last into the power of one man who was not afraid to tame her. Brutal, arrogant, he would hurt her, betray her, subdue her free spirit - but never admit that he loved her... Moonstruck Madness.
