From London's smoke-filled gaming clubs to the lavender-scented air of the Norfolk countryside, this epic romance follows the paths of two colliding destinies. The Black Lord is a masked highwayman who terrifies the gentry with his lethal midnight forays. Silver St. Clair is the only woman brave enough to steal his heart.

India, the beautiful and headstrong sister of Come the Night's hero, Luc Delamere, fell in love with the rakish Devlyn Carlisle when they were just children. Innocent love bloomed into deepest passion when they reconnected as adults. But soon after the two are joined in a secret wedding bond, the Napoleonic Wars tear them apart. Then, betrayed by a comrade-in-arms, Devlyn is pronounced dead. India swears to continue her life alone, without the only love she's ever known. But now he's back – with the cold eyes of a stranger. Plunged deep into the mystery to discover who betrayed Devlyn, India vows to make the lost earl remember all they once shared, no matter how dangerous to her reputation – and her heart.
