"The Outlaws of Falkensteig" contains seven stories about the Outlaws of the Falkensteig mountain region, in a fabulous 17th-Century Germany that lives only in our imagination. And what an imagination Sabatini gave us to play with! Kings and courtiers, bad men and captains of the guard; fops and swordfighters and rustic innkeepers. And women who love, and threaten our hero, and save his life, drive him to the edge of destruction and bring him true happiness. And we haven't even mentioned the plot twists that turn the world inside out and upside down. Sabatini scholar Jesse F. Knight has written an introduction that places these stories in Sabatini's literary history and lets the reader appreciate how they helped form his work. Karen Schaffer has created a cover based on one of the original magazine illustrations, hand-colored in the style of an engraving of the period. This is the first new story collection by Sabatini in ten years, and the first time these stories have been available to the public since their original appearance a hundred years ago.This book is a Hidden Knowledge exclusive!

Blurb: I'd never wanted a life on the run. But maybe some laws are made to be broken. All I wanted was to keep my head down, play nice, and coast. Fixing cars for minimum wage wasn't glamorous, but it was enough to keep my greedy foster father John out of my hair. I just had to make it to my 21st birthday and age into the college fund my parents left for me. Then I could leave Sherwood County and its corrupt, sleazy good ol' boys behind. Or so I thought. Because John was conspiring with the sheriff to trap me here forever, and I had no choice but to run. In the span of a single night, I went from an ordinary orphan girl to a fugitive from the law, with nothing to her name but the clothes on her back and nowhere to go but the forest. Until they found me. The wealthy city boy with the acid wit. The absentminded scholar with a heart of gold. The brooding fighter with the overprotective side. And their fearless leader too charming for his own good. These guys are closer than brothers, thicker than thieves, and for some reason, they want me to stick around. Won't take no for an answer, in fact, and all but hold me captive in their massive compound deep in the forest of Sherwood County. Living outside the law shouldn't feel so easy, so right. And living with these guys shouldn't feel so electric, so intoxicating. I shouldn't let myself get tempted by one of them, let alone all four. But when I've already broken more rules than I can count…well, what's one more? Except nothing about these guys is safe. They're outlaws just like me, and whatever they get up to in the middle of the night is skirting on real danger. They may claim they're just fighting for justice, but I won't let them keep me in the dark. Because I'm no damsel in distress. And if they're going to take down whatever sinister force is holding Sherwood in its grips, then I want in too. Almost as much as I want all of them.

Enjoy this limited-time collection and be ready for the release of the last Scottish Outlaw, Ian, the youngest MacVie, coming January 2019. "You know a book is great when you can feel the characters' pain, their fears and their happiness...Lily Baldwin's books do that!" - Amazon Reviewer Jack: Jack MacVie is a Scottish rebel, robbing English nobles on the road north into Scotland alongside his four brothers. But the MacVie brothers are not hell bent on riches. They became highwaymen to fight against the tyranny of King Edward of England. In the aftermath of the Berwick massacre, Lady Isabella Redesdale is risking it all, journeying north into war-torn Scotland to be with her sister. But when her carriage is attacked by a band of villains, another gang descends to steal her away. Although they come from different worlds, Jack and Isabella are more alike than they first realize. They both crave freedom from war and despair, but in a world where kings reign and birth dictates one's station, freedom is not won, it is stolen. ***Jack is a novella. The rest of the Scottish Outlaw books are all FULL-LENGTH novels. Quinn: Quinn is a Scottish rebel and outlaw to the crown--not the sort of man for a proper English lady. But when Lady Catarina is accused of a horrific crime and is forced to flee Ravensworth castle for her life, the only man she can trust is the one man who believes she is innocent, Quinn MacVie. Join Quinn and Catarina as they disappear into the wilds of the Scottish Highlands where danger follows at their heels and desire burns in their hearts.

Accompanying them is secret agent and reputed rake, Rory MacVie, who must assist Alexandria with a perilous mission for Scotland. But the abbot makes one point very clear--Rory is not a potential suitor. This is a passionate story of honor, rebellion, and forbidden love. Alec: Two broken hearts unite, becoming one love that will last forever. Sold from one ruthless master to another, Joanie is a servant who has lived her whole life in fear. When Randolph Tweed, an English merchant with cold, unfeeling eyes, buys her, she fears she has fallen into the hands of her cruelest master yet. But what she doesn’t realize is that Randolph is actually Alec MacVie, Scottish spy and rebel. The first time Alec sees Joanie is in his dreams. He has a vision of a young woman standing on a bridge alone, bleeding, and brokenhearted. He must rescue her, and when he does he soon realizes she holds the power to rescue him right back. Join Alec and Joanie on a journey of healing, passion, and hope, where their love and strength forge a new destiny for themselves and for Scotland. Rose: Rose stands on her rock and gazes out to sea, her calm expression masking the fire that burns inside her restless heart. Filled with longing, she waits and yearns for more. But now, she is done waiting. She sets sail, leaving behind her Highland home, determined to make her own destiny.

The band of rustlers that hung out in Dragoon Pass laughed at lawmen and their clumsy posses. All the rich ranches in the valley below were theirs for the raiding, including the one Ben McCracken ramrodded.

So when the longriders turned one of Ben's law traps into a shambles of gun-thunder and powdersmoke, Ben realized that now he'd have to pull out all the stops and show them what blazing fury could really be like.

SUMMARY:The #1 New York Times-bestselling series returns-and the stakes have never been higher. Charlie Castillo's secret unit has been disbanded-but that doesn't mean he's out of business. As experience has painfully shown him, there are many things the intelligence community can't do, won't do, or doesn't do well, and he has the men and assets to help set things straight. But the first opportunity, when it comes, is shocking: A FedEx package arrives, bearing photos of barrels containing some of the most dangerous biohazard materials on earth, all of which were supposed to have been destroyed during a raid on a secret Russian factory in the Congo. Who has them, and what do they want? Castillo has a feeling he's not going to like the answers.

But one look into his icy eyes and I know the truth: I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to stay here. Submit to his touch. And I’m going to have his baby. Kelsey I knew when I started that this was a dangerous game. But I needed answers, and one of these bastards had to know who killed my sister. I’d do whatever it took to find the murderer. Even if it meant letting a hideous monster f*ck me like a dog. Spike Lawler claimed me as his old lady before I even knew to resist. Now, he says he’ll never let me go. I’m trapped and drowning, a helpless victim to his disgusting wrath. And when he finds out I’m pregnant, the last windows of opportunity to escape are slammed shut. But here’s what Spike doesn’t know: The baby isn’t his. And the man who gave it to me is coming to claim his child. Chopper I’m sick of standing idly by. It’s time to strike. Spike Lawler is soft. Weak. Arrogant. He thinks I can’t do a thing to him. But he doesn’t know that I’ve learned his secret: His old lady, his most prized possession, is pregnant. I’m going to hit him where it hurts the most. The plan comes together perfectly, and before I know it, I have his old lady tied up in my clubhouse basement. I go down to interrogate her, only to come face-to-face with a stunning realization. She’s not just some pawn in this power struggle. She’s the mother of my baby. **
