Take one devilshly handsome highwayman, add one beautiful lady on a crusade, along with a dash of skullduggery, and you have one terrific Regency-set story that breaks the mold.
Who knew Jenna Hollingsworth's night of revenge, resulting in the wounding of the Marsh Hawk, would mark the beginning of a new life filled with romance, passion, and intrigue. Little did Simon Rutherford, Earl of Kevernwood, know that once he laid eyes on Jenna, he would fall crazy in love. Can Simon's love carry them through Jenna's suspicions concerning his character? Will Jenna's need for revenge spoil a beautiful romance?
The Marsh Hawk is a smooth, compelling read that takes you away to another time and place. What a page-turner! Dawn Thompson writing as Dawn MacTavish certainly proved that she can hold her audience captive with straight historical romances just as well as she can with her award-winning paranormal books. You can't go wrong with this book!

Dawn MacTavish captured me with The Marsh Hawk, and I have to say her books are as close as you can come to a guaranteed great read. The Privateer had me from page one.
The one-eyed man who prefers to be called "King" is Basil Alistaire Kingston, Earl of Grayshire. He's haunted with a somewhat shady past, but his burden (other than his termagant mother, a wonderful character!) is his father's legacy of piracy and womanizing. King worries that he'll end up just like good ol' dad, and it's likely, too, considering the orders he receives from the Admiralty.
But he can handle all that. When his mother demands he find a companion for her in a debtor's prison, he meets Lady Lark Eddington. The introduction wasn't formal--she was fighting with three other women who'd robbed her of what little she had left. Her father had gambled away all the family's assets and her inheritance; hence, debtor's prison. She definitely didn't belong there.
What a journey! An alpha male with a very strong heroine and a determined mother, an unscrupulous bad guy, and a nasty woman out for vengeance. It's all here, a compelling story that will keep you reading. If you're late for work, just remember, you have been warned. :)
