Stand and Deliver: Shadows in the Daylight
Shadows in the Daylight by Rachel Lawson
Under the silver glow of a full moon in the eerie depths of Epping Forest, destiny rides in a stagecoach destined for Loughton. Among its passengers, Isabella Constance dreams of romance and adventure, her heart already captured by the dashing Viscount of Essex, John Faulkner—a charismatic highwayman whose daring exploits stir envy and admiration in equal measure. Yet not all is as it seems on these dark country roads.
Mysterious figures emerge from the shadows: a clever escape artist known only as the Ghost, a secret poet whose verses conceal a hidden identity, and a band of rival highwaymen whose names evoke both terror and fascination. In a world where identities are as fluid as moonlit mist and every whispered word carries double meaning, loyalties collide and long-held secrets unravel.
As high-stakes robberies, mistaken identities, and playful banter spark a web of intrigue, love and danger dance hand in hand. Can Isabella’s heart navigate the treacherous path between passion and peril, or will the shifting shadows reveal truths too dangerous to bear? Step into a realm of chivalry, wit, and unpredictable romance in Shadows in the Daylight—where every smile hides a secret and every shadow tells a story.
