Perfect for you if...

  • You love historical romance with morally grey heroes who are genuinely menacing before they soften for the right woman.
  • You want Scottish Highlands settings, Victorian intrigue, and chemistry that builds through conflict rather than instant attraction.
  • You enjoy series openers that work standalone but make you desperate to read the next book about the other rebels.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer heroes who are unambiguously good from the start or need very slow burns without physical tension.
  • You're uncomfortable with captivity plots or stories where a woman's consent is complicated by circumstance, even if she reclaims agency.
  • You want light, frothy romance without darker themes of revenge, trauma, or genuine danger.

About this book

The Highwayman is the first book in the Victorian Rebels series. It follows Dorian Blackwell, known as the Blackheart of Ben More, a wealthy and influential man in Victorian London who is scarred, ruthless, and determined to seek vengeance on those who have wronged him. Farah Leigh Mackenzie is a widow with a powerful secret that puts her life in danger. When Dorian takes her to his sanctuary in the Scottish Highlands, he offers her a proposition: marry him for protection, and in return, she will help him exact revenge on his enemies. However, Farah has her own terms, and the arrangement ignites an intense desire between them. As their relationship develops, Dorian discovers that the woman he captured may be the only person capable of reaching his hardened heart.
