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?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I live by the sea in Plymouth, England, with my partner Dave. I like reading, sailing, and exploring in our camper van. I love getting up early to watch the sunrise in summer, and long quiet evenings by the wood burner in our cabin on the cliffs in Cornwall in winter.

I write traditional Regency romance novels that respect the mores of the era. I like to think my characters, though flawed, are likeable, strong, and true to the period.

    I have enjoyed each book I have read by this author and have loved every one of them!
    I really don't know why it took me so long to try one, but once I did, I was hooked.
    I love the author's style of writing, her character creations, the plots, settings - everything.
    This book was no exception.
    Excellent characters, a plot that kept me reading, and a clean - yet sparky romance.
    It kept me fully engaged. There were no 'fluffy' parts. Everything flowed well.
    I am a new fan - and I can highly recommend this book - and this author - to anyone who likes Regency setting clean romances.
    Note - There are a few mild swear words - (the 'D' word), but they are fairly infrequent.
    I have read the second book in this series as well, and am now on to the third!

    Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    Not the most riveting romance I've ever read, but entertaining, I very much enjoyed it. Well written. Much better than most of the drivel that's out there today. If you want to spend a few hours transported to another time surrounded by men that are true gentlemen and heros (with a few cads thrown for contrast), and with ladies that are both beautiful and likable, you should enjoy this. The one thing I most liked about it was that people behaved more true to the historical period it was set in. I dislike books where the heroine is suppose be in the 1800s and behaves like she is in the 2000s.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Someone teach this author about semicolons!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020
    The plot was trite and predictable, as well as totally unbelievable, but the characters were interesting, it had some humor, and it was clean. But the run-on sentences were so prevalent, so awful, so . . . run-on. On and on and on with only commas to separate them. I know this wasn't a high-school English assignment (a good thing, because it would have failed) but the complete lack of understanding of basic sentence construction and punctuation was so distracting that I kept me from finishing the book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good plot with humor, action & suspense. Anticlimactic ending.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2022

    Overall, the plot and action, light humor and awful villain kept the story moving along very well. Some of the supporting cast are more thoroughly written that the Hero. He remains mostly aloof and abrupt, with a few moments of softening. The heroine wears her pride with immaturity, but finally settled down. The author borrows a bit from Pride & Prejudice and also works a couple of it's insights into her tale. A couple passages at the end of the book would be less disappointing, if reworked. (Most young women & family members would be very disappointed by how thoughtlessly managed & railroaded the wedding was).

    Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I totally enjoyed this aristocratic young woman's plan to steal valuable items from each of the members of the ton to whom her father owed money. ( No, I'm not an advocate of theft, but don't want to ruin the story for you.) After the death of her mother, her father started to drink and gamble until there was no money left. Now, alone, she is going through the list of names she found after his death, (many her father's friends), name by name, to let the list's occupants have a taste if what it feels like to have someone steal from you. What she didn't factor in was that every man on the list might not be owed a gambling debt or that she was stealing too frequently to avoid being caught.
    A fantastic tale of what a strong willed person can accomplish even when in desperate straights! And how much the kindness of a person you've wronged can change your life!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2019

    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 from the 'baddie' who was truly that and deserved his comeuppance.
    I would thoroughly recommend this book, as unlike a lot of books being written at the moment, which lack substance and in some cases are historically incorrect, this book was well worth reading, and paying slightly more for.
