In Restoration England, where the battle of the sexes is especially humorous and high-spirited, a beautiful young aristocrat embarks on a swashbuckling adventure with a dashing highwayman.
Lady Anne Gascoigne is eager to take her wedding vows--until she discovers her devious fiance has conspired to let King Charles II steal her virtue. To save her honor and her life, she must flee under the protection of a notorious but charming rake who has just escaped hanging--only to be captured by Anne's heart.
The illegitimate son of a powerful man, John Gilbert lives by his wits and his sword, leading a merry band of men who rob the rich and corrupt, then escape to a forest hideaway. As proper Lady Anne blossoms under John's command, opening up to the freedom and sensuality he offers, she poses a new set of challenges for him--to stay alive long enough to ensure her protection, earn an equal place by her side, and convince her of his undying love.
