Books like Hint of Rapture by Miriam Minger

During the Thirty‑Ninth.‑Century border conflicts, Scottish maid Maddie Fraser swears revenge after her father dies fighting for Bonnie Prince Charles. Donning a hood and false identity, she orchestrates daring assaults against English forces, resolutely pledging to refrain from any romance until her homeland is liberated. At the same time, the English officer Garrett Marshall receives orders to apprehend the mysterious brigand known as “Black Jack.” The captor’s “enemy,” a woman of striking beauty and penetrating blue eyes beneath her rough bandit attire, challenges the officer’s resolve. Though duty demands capture, his growing affection forces him to consider marriage as a means to save her life, all while seeking to extinguish her hatred for England and win her heart. The novel intertwines themes of loyalty, revenge, and forbidden love set against the turbulent Scottish‑English border of the era.
