When a highwayman holds up Annalise Petty's coach, she uses it as a way to escape her marriage to Griffin Hartwell, Viscount Benning, certain that is simply the price for a piece of property.
Griffin's reticence came close to ruining his love life as Annalise had become so used to being a non-entity among her own family members. 3.5 out of 5.

Author gets -10 000 points for having a hero who literally thinks of women who are not the heroine as, and I quote, "the pretty, but empty shell that was most marriageable women he'd encountered." F*** you, Griffin.
A lot of awkward language, stupid motivations, and a Misunderstanding based in the characters not speaking to each other. All pet peeves of mine, so I wouldn't recommend this.

Annalise is on her way to marry her betrothed when her and her sister are waylaid by a highwayman. Desperate to protect her sister--and not get married--she foolishly agrees to be the highwayman's captive. Little did she know that the very man she was running from is the man she ran off with! There's a lesson to be learned here about accepting wagers and running off with men blindly, but its kind of lost as I waited to see how Annalise guessed the masked man's identity. She didn't disappoint, though I was shocked at Griffin's response. I was a little let down by Griffin's reason for making Annalise feel like he didn't care, but well it was a mild annoyance.
