Her family's wealth and expectations keep her in a gilded cage, never able to act on her true desires. Like kissing--and engaging in far more scandalous behavior with--Charlie Thatcher, her childhood best friend. As a member of a rival gang, Charlie is distinctly off-limits. FALLS FOR THE WRONG MAN... Charlie Thatcher has known since he was a boy where his loyalties should lie: with the Chapman Street Thieves, who saved him from a brutal death in the dark alleys of the Ratcliffe rookery. As a bartender for the Three Boars public house, he protects his fellow brothers with his mind and his fists. But when one of those members threatens Mina's safety, Charlie's primal, protective instincts are triggered--and his defense of her puts them both in danger. PASSION MAY BE THEIR DOWNFALL. -------- Note: Stealing the Rogue's Heart is a dark, gritty, and steamy (on-page sex scenes) romantic suspense set in pre-Victorian England. West Side Story meets working-class London. While it is the conclusion to the Rookery Rogues series, it can be read as a stand-alone historical romance.

He stirs an unexpected passion within her, and Felicity has had enough change in her life. When they were children, Nicholas never understood his aunt's brilliant but unemotional ward, or her many strange scientific studies. He ought to take her back to London, so she can make a proper society match--except he can't stop thinking about her. But with the line between life and death blurred by Felicity's macabre experiments, can he convince her that she's no longer alone, and her proper place is by his side?
