The book "At The Highwayman’s Pleasure" by Sarah Mallory depicts Ross Durden, an embittered and righteous gentleman who is at odds with his family over his hatred for the thieving highwayman who killed his wife. Abandoned by their neighbors, the Durdens, the former sheriff, hold a grudge against all those that his father had been forced to bury with him after being framed during a robbery gone wrong. Ross and his family seek out the crime writer who wrote the novel about the events leading up to the death of a young child, but only succeed in bringing the towns people more tension and strife rather than any hope of retribution. Charity Weston, a well-renowned actress, cannot let the jaded Ross prey on her, for she cherishes free will, rather than the ones who seal their lips to those that revere them.
At first, their encounters touch from afar, then in person, setting off their romance as well as captivating Ross' determination to wrest vengeance from the highwayman that killed his family and tried to destroy his friends and neighbors alike. As tension mounts and challenges rise in their personal lives and work, they learn that their inclinations run farther deeper than they had ever imagined on learning themselves something new about life in the shadowy world of theaters that at times mirrored their own confrontations in those deserted, lonely corners of their dark nights.
