Publisher Description
Daring Debutantes, Book 1...
When Victoria Barclay, privileged daughter of the Viscount Grantham, has a life-altering experience as a young girl, it sets the course for the rest of her life. She is determined to make a difference in the world, no matter the consequence, and becomes a highwayman—or woman, as it were—robbing the rich and donating her pilfered gains to the poor.
Life-long friend and neighbor, Phineas Dartwell, Earl of Leyburn, suspects his dear friend is up to no good. She’s become evasive, and even worse, he cares that she’s become evasive. When she refuses to confide in him, claiming it’s for his own good, he severs the friendship out of wounded pride and a wounded heart.
But when Victoria’s activities are brought to light in the eyes of the magistrate, Phineas must find a way to acquit his friend—and dare he hope, future wife?—of the charges.

A thrilling read
This is a fun exciting read about a woman who tries to make a difference in her life, at the cost of her own personal safety.
The Robber Bride
Ms Knight-Catania has a beautiful way with words. I could not put it down. It has been a long time since I have read a book straight through, but it was well worth the time spent. Interesting characters getting into surprising situation while keeping the mores of the time in the flow. Well written and I would recommend it to everyone.
Nice easy fun read!
Read it in a few hours- predictable but I liked it anyway.
