My Lady Pickpocket
(Turn of the Century Romance)
She lives by her wits; he plays by the rules.
Eliza Summersby has survived London’s Seven Dials by being quick with her fingers and quicker than the law. She can pick a pocket without breaking stride and vanish before anyone thinks to stop her. What she can’t do is outrun a past she doesn’t even know exists.
After a robbery goes spectacularly wrong, Eliza finds herself cornered with the police at her heels. Her only escape is a desperate leap into the nearest carriage—where she lands squarely in the lap of Sir Mark van Bergen.
The youngest director at the Bank of England, Mark has built a reputation for impeccable judgment. A gentleman in his position has no business sheltering a Seven Dials pickpocket.
He should hand her over to the police. Instead, he takes her home.
Under his roof, Eliza discovers something more dangerous than temptation: safety. Mark discovers how easily one audacious woman can upend the ordered life he’s spent years building. For the first time, she can imagine a future that doesn’t involve running.
But Eliza is not who she believes herself to be. When the truth comes to light, it threatens everything—including the reputation Mark has spent his life protecting. To claim the future she’s never dared to want, Eliza must learn whom she can trust. Mark must decide whether respectability is worth losing the woman who has made him want something more.
Because sometimes the greatest risk isn’t breaking the rules.
It’s falling in love.
