Featured Title
Thornridge and the Highwayman: Stand and Deliver!
Temporarily out of stock!

In 1774, Arthur Thornridge is nineteen years old. Having completed his education--and an infamous Grand Tour of Europe--he is now ready to assume his role as an officer in the King's army. The service will take him away from his conflicted loves at home--Elizabeth: proud, pure, and wealthy, and Veronica: down-to-earth, middling, and kindly--for an altogether different conflict beyond the comfortable trappings of home.

Thornridge's military career is almost over before it begins when a fist-fight lands him with a miserable posting in Ireland. He must redeem himself by restoring order to a village terrorized by a cunning and dangerous highwayman. With nothing but his own wits and judgment to guide him, he will lead his scorned redcoats into the most exciting and terrifying episode of his life.
