How to Steal a Thief's Heart

Miss Caroline Hawkins: the invisible belle of the ball who prefers it that way.

Caroline Hawkins has mastered the art of blending in. With deliberately dulled hair, thick glasses obscuring her keen eyes, and dresses that could best be described as 'tent-like', she navigates the glittering world of English society unnoticed and unbothered. Just the way she likes it.

But every perfect disguise meets its match.

Enter Pierce Byrne, the enigmatic Black Baron, whose piercing gaze cuts through Caroline's carefully constructed facade. He's intrigued by the woman who is everything society's belles are not—strangely fascinating, compellingly odd.

She planned to hate him, he planned to win her.

One unexpected night, their paths cross in a way Caroline never intended. Pierce discovers Caroline's secret—a secret so aligned with his own that it binds them in a curious new way. Suddenly, the game of hide and seek with society's expectations turns into a thrilling chase of wits and wills.

Can two masters of disguise find truth in the masquerade?

As they delve deeper into each other’s hidden lives, what starts as mutual curiosity evolves into something neither can escape. Before long, Pierce and Caroline must confront the truth: their deepening connection could either ruin them or offer the companionship they've both secretly desired.

Underneath the gray, a colorful tale of intrigue and romance unfolds.
