The Gentleman Thief

She’s investigating a theft, but he may steal her heart.


When a famous emerald necklace disappears, Georgiana Bellewether is determined to solve the mystery. But her beauty and gender prevent anyone from taking her seriously—until the Marquess of Ashdowne offers to help. If only the man wasn’t so much of a distraction…


Ashdowne has his reasons for assisting the delectable Miss Bellewether. But when he finds himself falling in with her wild schemes, he begins to wonder if he’s falling for the woman herself.


“Not only is it witty, romantic and funny, it is beautifully written... I laughed from the first page, not only at the charming repartee between the hero and heroine, but at the many clever twists and turns the story takes.” – All About Romance
