Description de l’éditeur
Faith Jarvis has spent most of her 20 years on the mean streets of London, having been abandoned by her family as a child.
She has no choice but to work for Jack Swift, a mean and violent criminal mastermind who has his network of thieves. Yet even in the grimmest rookeries of Bethnal Green, she clings to her fierce independence while looking after a young street rat named Scatter.
One night, Faith and her young partner spot a target and intend to relieve the gentleman of his purse. Unfortunately for them, Troyce de Meir, Third Baron of Westborogh, is not an easy victim.
Instead of handing her over to the law, he strikes a startling bargain to recover his lost funds. Facing the grim threat of Newgate Prison, she is forced into service as his maid, soon trading the London rookeries for the drafty stone halls of his seaside manor.
Can an impoverished lord bound by duty and debt trust the defiant pickpocket who tried to rob him?
Enemies to Lovers: Caught red-handed outside a London tavern, Faith expects the cold stone of Newgate Prison, but Lord Westborough demands a year of honest labor instead—igniting a fierce clash of wills.Forced Proximity: Trapped together in a crumbling coastal manor, an impoverished nobleman rebuilding a sunken Spanish galleon and a defiant pickpocket struggle to resist an undeniable attraction.Opposites Attract: Between scuffles in the neglected village and late-night dances beneath the castle staircase, a streetwise urchin slowly breaks through an honorable peer’s hardened defenses.Also by This Author: Loving Linsey, Mustang Annie and An Unlikely Lady.
