The Rogue of Whim

A tower built on secrets. A love forged in fire. A heath that remembers every sin. In the wild wastes of Bagshot Heath, where gorse chokes the land and peat bogs swallow men whole, two souls are about to defy an empire of greed. Rose Thorne, the surveyor's daughter, draws lines that cage the free. Julian Vane, the outlaw known as the Rogue of the Whim, rides those same paths like a ghost-stealing from tyrants and vanishing into legend. When Rose is summoned to the opulent but sinister Obelisk-a folly masking a counterfeiting machine powered by stolen royal dies-she finds herself trapped between duty and desire. But when Julian scales the impossible ridge to rescue her from a trap meant to end his legend, their fates entwine in blood, betrayal, and a forbidden chemistry that burns hotter than gunpowder. From crumbling towers to sunken farms, through fevered nights and whispered maps drawn in violet dust, The Rogue of the Whim is a sweeping tale of resistance, redemption, and the quiet courage it takes to redraw the world-one boundary at a time. Perfect for fans of Outlander, Bridgerton, and The Highwayman, this lush, slow-burn historical romance blends danger, intellect, and heart in a landscape where every shadow hides a secret... and every kiss could be treason.
