Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harlan Mathis is a notorious highwayman, at least, as far as anyone is aware. The gentleman and his gang of revelers strike renewed fear into the heart of travelers on their way to London. In truth, Harlan is a privateer for the Crown, tasked with finding out who is responsible for the threat of rebellion that is causing current unrest. With the death of William IV and the recent advent of Queen Victoria to the throne, he has to ensure a smooth transition for the new monarchy. To do that, he has to put himself in jeopardy. And now he has a lovely captive—possibly a spy—who tempts him at every turn. Miss Leah Lindquist was on her way to Birmingham to stay with her elder half-brother, a vicar, after the unfortunate passing of her aunt in France. She fears that once she arrived to stay with her new guardian, she will be forced into an unwanted union, so she isn’t entirely upset when her public coach is set upon and she is taken hostage by a mysterious, masked stranger. Neither does she intend to remain oblivious about what is going on around her. It isn’t long before she realizes that not all is as it seems and she is determined to assist in the cause. As tensions rise in the country, and the heat between Leah and Harlan steadily mount, will they secure the ending that everyone is hopeful for, or will conspiracy and mutiny rule the day?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mark of Zorro (The Curse of Capistrano) - Johnston McCulley - The Curse of Capistrano is a 1919 novella by Johnston McCulley and the first work to feature the fictional character Zorro (zorro is the Spanish word for fox). After the enormous success of the 1920 film adaptation, The Mark of Zorro, the story was republished under that name. Prior to being published in novella form, The Curse of Capistrano appeared as five serialized installments in the pulp magazine All-Story Weekly. The masked avenger immortalized by countless films began as pulp fiction in 1919. The dashing hero Zorro first appeared in Johnston McCulley's story, "The Curse of Capriano", serialized in the American pulp magazine Argosy, later republished as a novella in 1924 as "The Mark of Zorro". Set in Spanish Colonial California, Zorro moonlights as a robin-hood like adventurer, saving the oppressed from the tyrannical hands in power. This iconic outlaw has weaved his way deeply into popular culture through countless iterations in film and literature. Armed with a rapier and mounted on a black horse, Zorro deftly maneuvers through the crime ridden streets of old southern California to, "avenge the helpless, to punish cruel politicians", and "to aid the oppressed." Charged with thrills and mystery, "The Mark of Zorro" is the story that started it all. A classic tale of roguish activism, this enigmatic hero continues to delight generations of readers.

By day, Reginald Sinclair works in the post office, but by night, he is the increasingly infamous Paladin, the gallant highwayman making young women swoon all over Somerset. With a vendetta against the wealthy that spans both past and present, Reggie's escapades allow him to take justice into his own hands while helping his uncle avoid insolvency. Joanna Carmichael's father has finally chosen her a husband. While she is not thrilled with her father's selection, Joanna understands it as a business arrangement, something which suits her practicality perfectly. Her father hopes her good sense will exercise a beneficial effect upon her younger sister, Frances, who is regrettably prone to romantics. Frances's preoccupation with reports of the Paladin threaten to overshadow Joanna's coolheaded example, but Joanna is determined to show her sister how foolish and unworthy of admiration the outlaw is. During their encounter, though, the maddening highwayman takes an item of Joanna's—then has the audacity to send her a letter with instructions on how to recover it, beginning a battle of wills that brings Reggie within reach of the people responsible for his family's ruin and forces Joanna to reconsider the desirability of her business arrangement.
