An exciting prequel to THE DUKE HEIST.
Meet the Wild Wynchesters: This fun-loving, caper-committing family of tight-knit siblings can’t help but find love and adventure!
Years ago, Chloe Wynchester and five other uniquely talented orphans were adopted by a wealthy baron with a secret mission: The motley Wynchester family fights for justice from the margins of high society. And the handsome, clever duke Chloe has long admired proves to be her worst enemy…
An unscrupulous boarding school is exploiting orphans in a secret workhouse. Baron Vanderbean plots a daring rescue. When illness befalls him, Chloe must take the reins. But how can a lifelong wallflower lead the charge to save the children?
”I want to be a Wynchester!”

Not great
A quick romp but lacking in substance
A whole lot of great good fun
I’m not sure what to call this story other than a whole lot of great good fun. I love any type of heist story where a “good” bad guy gets away with pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes and the true villain is brought to justice. I’m sure it comes from an early childhood love of everything Robin Hood. And the Wynchesters are very much of the ilk of the hero of Sherwood Forest; taking on the entitled to give back to the downtrodden and forgotten. This story pulled me in from the beginning and the stage is set for the next book to the point that I want to start reading it immediately. There are a couple of questions that I’m rather desperate to know the answers to.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
