He is determined to avoid marriage, she to despise men…
1818: Destitute, disillusioned and desperate, Lady Rosalind Marlowe sets the tongues of Regency London wagging when she becomes the Mayfair Thief. Targeting only those she knows won large sums of money from her father, bleeding him dry and causing him to take his own life, she decides to teach them a lesson. She takes something valuable from each, leaving her calling card with a bible quote behind her. On her last outing, she is caught red-handed.
Bored, restless and guilt-ridden over the death of his own father and with his accusations of him being a selfish whelp still ringing in his ears, Lord Atherton heads off a bow street runner who is pursuing Rosalind and in an altruistic act he engages her to be a companion to his mother. Unaware that he has become the target of enmity from a desperate gambler from whom he has won a large sum of money, they are thrown into a series of increasingly dangerous situations.
Can love blossom amidst the perils and pitfalls of Regency England?

Excellent Story I haven’t read books by this author before, but I must say how impressed I am, and look forward to reading the next book in the series. As stated in the piece ‘About the Author’ at the end of the book,Jenny states that ‘ a good book is like a fine wine -it shouldn’t be rushed, in either the writing or the reading’ and this is apparent, the book has been thoughtfully and well written, with the plot well filled out and interesting. The characters are well described and most are endearing, apart…
Authentic-sounding and Satisfying I found this book to be well-researched and deeply romantic, and had plenty of characters that caught the imagination. Sparky sisters and cunning foes kept the narrative moving, and there was plenty of action too. Very enjoyable, and recommended for any Regency fan!
The start of an exciting saga This is a great first novel, introducing characters with a depth that carries them through this novel and provides potential for future stories.I loved Rosalind. She is has spirit and yet conforms to the etiquette of the period. If anything I would have liked her to have led more adventures and certainly hope this happens in the future.The story is well researched to ensure it is accurate yet allows the reader to become part of the story.I look forward to subsequent novels.
