Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

He knows she's a thief. She knows he's keeping her secret. Neither expected to lose their heart.Lavinia Cray is a respectable widow with a scandalous secret. By night, she is the Magpie, a daring jewel thief who steals from the wealthy and powerful to right the wrongs they leave behind. She's clever, careful, and has never been caught.Until a handsome duke finds her in the wrong room at precisely the wrong moment.Gabriel Fairleigh, Duke of Aldermere, has built his life on charm, generosity and the convenient habit of seeing only what he wishes. When he discovers the mysterious Magpie is a sharp-tongued widow with secrets of her own, he makes an extraordinary choice. He looks the other way.But when Gabriel invites London's most suspicious society figures to his Derbyshire estate for a lavish masquerade, the game becomes dangerously real. Stolen jewels, hidden debts and a sinister conspiracy threaten to expose far more than Lavinia's identity. And the charming gentleman everyone trusts may be the most dangerous man in the room.As suspicion deepens and desire grows impossible to ignore, Lavinia must decide whether to trust the one man who could destroy her. Gabriel, meanwhile, must learn that loving a woman means seeing her clearly-even when the truth could cost him everything.Because the greatest risk isn't stealing a fortune. It's giving someone your heart.The Duke and the Lady Thief is a steamy, slow-burn Regency romance featuring a clever widowed heroine, a charming duke, dangerous secrets, a jewel-thief mystery and an emotionally satisfying happily-ever-after.Book Three of The Sworn Bachelors series. Each book can be read as a standalone.
