From Booklist
Liddy Carpenter is tired of being poor. To save the family estate, and to provide her siblings with a steady income, she turns to a life of crime, establishing the persona of Euan Pate, smuggler. Keir Galloway, Lord Pittenmuir, wants to find the traitor selling secrets to the French, so he decides his ticket to the nefarious underworld is through the guise of a smuggler. Their confrontation is inevitable, as is their attraction to each other. This novel of double concealed identities has standard Regency fare--the faithful servant, the beautiful younger sister, and the plainer but brighter older sister. However, the rugged Scottish coastal setting and the descriptions of the smuggling activities give it a different perspective. Readers who take pleasure in books featuring women outlaws, such as Julie Garwood's Guardian Angel (1990) (pirate) and Christina Kingston's The Night the Stars Fell (2001) (highwayman), will enjoy this book about another woman gone bad to do good.
