The Highwayman who Treasured Me
(2025)(The eighth book in the Men who Revered Us series)
A novel by Rachelle Stevensen
"The very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly at your service…"
-William Shakespeare The Tempest Act III, Scene I
Bran Stillwell had nothing for most of his young life. No one to love him. No one to choose him. The word "love" was something he had heard but had no real, clear definition of. Even after a family took him into their home, Bran kept everyone at arm’s length. Even the boy his age, who wanted nothing more than to call him brother. For years, Bran simply moved through the world; he and Grant took what they had to, so their lives could improve. Even after becoming one of the most sought-after barristers in London, he and his friend still rode as highwaymen. Doing the deeds no others could accomplish. When their misdeeds finally catch up to them, and they must answer for their crimes, Bran finds the one woman meant to be his in the midst of it all. Not only is she the daughter of his greatest enemy, but she is also a titled woman of the Ton. When she comes to him in her greatest hour of need, Bran knows he would do anything to keep her safe, even if it breaks something in him to keep his desires in check. He knows he’s not worthy enough to be in her presence, let alone that she could be his one day, but he is just selfish enough to claim her anyway. Despite this, can she truly be his? Even when he is nothing?
Tempest Beckwith had no one in her life to show her love. Her father was much too busy, leaving her to be reared by governesses and nannies under the strictest instructions. She did her best to find joy in her quiet life, and after she had grown, she believed she was finally going to live her life as a debutante in the Ton, only to have her dreams shattered. Her father’s past had caught up to him, and when she finds a masked man in her father’s office, she isn’t afraid of him. Something about his eyes called to her. When her father meets his end, Tempest finds the man with the eyes that have haunted her dreams. Somehow, she knows only he can help her. Despite the challenges and the uncertainty, Tempest remains resolute in this knowledge. Will their pasts come for them? Will their circumstances keep them apart? Can they keep the love they found on their journey? Tempest will do anything, give up everything, to ensure it.
