Publisher Description
Scoundrels, thieves and rebels inhabit the rookeries—where dangerous men fall in love with fierce women.
SHE'S GIVEN UP ON LOVE, AND WANTS ONLY INDEPENDENCE...
Torn from her life of privilege by her father's death, Kate Morgan survives in London's dark and depraved rookeries as a fence for stolen goods. The last man she ever expects, or wants, to be reunited with is her first love, who promised to cherish, honor and protect her, and instead fled amidst accusations of murder.
HE'S THE REFORMED RAKE DETERMINED TO WIN HER BACK.
One drunken night cost Daniel O'Reilly the woman he loved. If he ever wants to reclaim Kate--and his old life--he'll not only have to prove he's innocent of murder, but convince the pistol-wielding spitfire that he's no longer the scoundrel he once was.
Together, they'll have to face a killer. Time is running out...

Customer Reviews
A bit of a historical who done it.....
I enjoyed this storyline.
Strong characters who grabbed you at every page.
An insight into the seedier side of London or that era.
ie., St Giles and the Seven Dials.
Where life has no worth, and everything comes at a cost.
There is a romance thrown in for good measure but that is not what the story is about. Reminded me a little of the Maiden Lane series. Definitely worth a read if you want realism of the era and not just stories about drawing rooms and the well to do.
A dark, gritty historically set romance.
I truly eye opening look into love in the regency period... For the poorer majority.
A real quality piece of fiction like Phillipa Gregory, not like the lighthearted bodice rippers I prefer. Not my cup of tea. I prefer to escape reality. This piece needs a different cover. It really is high quality writing.
