Alexander ist als Seemann von seiner amerikanischen Heimat weit entfernt, als ihn der Hilferuf seiner Schwester erreicht. Die Engländer haben sich breit gemacht - damals war Amerika noch Kolonie - und unterdrücken die Einheimischen. Getarnt als fetter Bonvivant kehrt er zurück. Heimlich ist er jedoch als schwarzer "Raider" unterwegs und arbeitet gegen die Engländer. Unterstützt wird er dabei von Jessica, die den Raider bewundert und ebenfalls kämpfen will. Seine wahre Identität verbirgt er jedoch vor ihr, sie kennt nur den fetten Bonvivant Alex, den sie zunächst verachtet, aber mit dem sie langsam Freundschaft schließt. Er heiratet sie auch, sie fühlt sich aber weiterhin sexuell zum Raider hin gezogen. Er erhält die Charade lange aufrecht und erst spät entdeckt sie sein Spiel und rächt sich. ( )

From BackCover:
Returning to Warbrooke, Maine, after ten years abroad, Alexander Montgomery doesn't like what he sees. Redcoats are running rampant over the town, intimidating citizens and imprisoning patriots. Alexander vows to take action. By day, padding his coats, he's the fat, foppish fool devoted to drink and indolence. By night, masked, astride a black horse, he's the fearless Raider, striking terror into the hated Redcoats.

What Alexander hasn't counted on is his childhood friend Jessica Taggert, who's grown into a beautiful and sensuous woman. Jessica despises the coward she thinks Alexander has become, but she thrills to the midnight kisses of the Raider. Then Jessica's home is destroyed by the British and she must marry for protection.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0671743813, Mass Market Paperback)

Jude Deveraux continues her beloved Montgomery saga in America with this dramatic, passion-filled tale of rebellion and love -- a breathtaking adventure to be savored all over again -- or discovered for the first time!

The Raider

In colonial New England, the British are hunting a fearless, masked patriot whose daring foils them at every turn. He's known simply as the Raider.

Jessica Taggert, a proud-tempered beauty, thrills to the Raider's scorching midnight embrace, but despises Alexander Montgomery, the drunken town buffoon.

In truth, the cleverly disguised Montgomery lives two lives...and only his triumph over the hated Redcoats will free him, at last, to know the full pleasure of Jessica's love.
