"When jealousy and revenge take root in the Cape, love itself becomes a weapon…"
The reckless swordsman James Surrock, Earl of Heatly, is cast out from high society after gambling and pride lead to his downfall. Embittered and bankrupt, he sails to the Cape of Good Hope with a dangerous objective. He covets the wealth of his cousin, Jean de Moreaux. An old letter whispers of a secret life and of a fugitive known by night as the Masked Robber.
When James arrives at the Cape, he discovers Jean's facade as an idle nobleman. But the young vigilantes fighting under the Buiter's name offer James the perfect opportunity to unmask his cousin. He lures them into a deadly trap, manipulates evidence, and stains innocent hands with blood, all to force Jean from behind his mask.
The battle becomes personal when James sets his sights on the beautiful Willa Rossouw, Jean's fiancée, and the only woman who can turn James's hatred into longing. His cruel plan is to steal both Jean's life and his love.
When a shocking duel ends in treachery, and Willa offers her own heart as a sacrifice to save Jean, the Masked Robber is forced into his most dangerous choice yet. Reveal your secret and die… or lose your beloved forever.
But in the final moment, just as James is about to celebrate his triumph, the gunpowder smoke from a single shot brings the truth to light, and death itself comes to claim its due.
A historical adventure filled with romance, suspense, and treachery, where love and loyalty wage the final battle against revenge and betrayal.
