Karalyn Marshall has devoted her life to revenging her parents’ deaths at the hands of a British officer. If that means she must don the mask of a highwayman and rob every redcoat officer on Bodmin Moor, so be it. Nothing will prevent her from gaining her revenge.
Adrian Warrick, Marquis of Ravenrook, has come home to Bodmin Moor to escape the ghosts of those his pirate past. But, his ghosts followed him home and haunt his dreams. Can a blue-eyed highwaywoman save Adrian’s soul from its nightly torment? Can a rakish pirate transform Karalyn’s thirst for revenge into love?
Karalyn Marshall lives for revenge. Her parents died at the hands of a British officer when she was an infant. True, her father had been a highwayman, a common or rather uncommon thief since he gave most of his loot to the poor. Kara’s mother died warning her father of a trap to capture him. He died seeking revenge on the man who raped her. Kara swore to complete what her father started.
Adrian Warrick, Marquis of Ravenrook is a haunted man. For six years he sailed the seven seas in the guise of pirate, searching for men dangerous to the English crown. His mission is complete, and he has come home to his castle. But the ghosts of those who died under his blade have returned with him. They haunt him nightly, and his soul is slipping away into darkness. Can the love of a woman bent on revenge save him? And, can his love replace her need for revenge?
Excerpt
Halting next to one of the many standing stones that dotted the moor, Adrian’s stallion raised his head and whinnied. Sure his horse had scented a herd of wild ponies, Adrian patted the grey’s neck. When the Midnight Angel rode a particularly fine black mare out of the fog towards him, his eyes widened. Then, he grinned.
“Well met, Angel,” he greeted her in a low voice as he rested his arms on the pommel of his saddle. “You shouldn't be riding alone. Danger roams Bodmin Moor at night.”
Kara gasped and reined her mare to an abrupt halt, thankful that she had not yet removed her mask. Then she recognized the man before her.
“Damn and blast.”
Adrian grinned and urged his horse towards her. “Such words from a lady, Leannoin.”
“Some of them I learned from you, my lord,” she snapped, holding her ground, her eyes drawn to the angry red line that slashed across his cheek, “and I am not your sweetheart.”
“You will be,” he answered, his husky voice enveloping her like a soft, velvet cloak, causing the fine hairs on her arms to rise.
Shivering, Kara raised her chin defiantly. “I--think--not.”
Professional Reviews
Sensuous Romance, Carol Wilson
MIDNIGHT ANGEL OF BODMIN MOOR captures your interest right from the
start with the terrible crime committed 18 years before, to the
satisfying conclusion, and the great love that develops between Kara
and
Adrian. The secondary characters were as intriguing as the primary
ones,
creating a thrilling story of good triumphing over evil in the end! A
very thrilling read where the mystery was just as interesting as the
love story! I can’t wait to read more stories with these characters!
Highly recommended!

Yes, Adrian does come into contact with the masked Angel of Bodmin Moor one night and the earth turns on its axis and their lives are never the same. Wow, wait until you meet the devastating Adrian. The man is used to having his wishes granted and the Angel gives him the challenge of his life when she marks his cheek with a kiss. Believe me, this is the start of something bigger than both of them. Yum, yum! It is all a lot of fun filled to bursting with romance and adventure as Adrian and his Angel clash wills and swords in a romance to die for. Don’t miss it or the coming Angel Series. Ms. Mays has the makings of a phenomenal series for readers to devour now and in the future.

Boy, where to start? Rarely do I get to read a story that appeals to me
on so
many different levels. Obviously, one of Ms. May's strong points is her
ability to create and sustain strong characters. ...
THE MIDNIGHT ANGEL OF BODMIN MOOR is rife with sexual tension,
intrigue,
fascinating characters, believable conflict, humor-you name it; it's
got it.
It's also ripe for a couple of sequels, namely about Robbie Marshal and
Major
Lucien Blake. I really want to know more about both of these men. And
yes,
that's a hint, Ms. Mays.
I can't begin to do this wonderful story justice, so I'll just urge you
to
buy it for yourself and see if I'm exaggerating. It's simply a great
