The Highwayman's Footsteps by Nicola Morgan

Soon, Will questions his privileged upbringing while his courage and honor are tested repeatedly as he and Bess try to right the wrongs they encounter. He soon realizes that feisty Bess operates by her own strict moral code, which includes hating all redcoats and helping the poor. Bess is seriously injured, and Will makes the critical decision to help her even though she’s a felon.
