To Tempt A Thief
The truth is seldom what it seems…
Staking his good name, spotless reputation, and unshakable belief that nothing is more sacred than the law, Darius ‘Dare’ Rusten, Fifth Earl of Collingwood, accepts an ill-advised wager. He vows to catch the Mayfair Shadow, the infamous thief looting the ton, within a fortnight when the authorities have not accomplished the task in three months. Dare does not count on the distraction of a stunning female he has never noticed before. A distraction he begins to encounter at every turn.
Miss Gertrude Carr is all things family and loyalty, so when she suspects someone she loves could be the notorious Mayfair Shadow, she sets out to discover the thief’s identity. When she learns the dogmatically unforgiving Lord Collingwood has joined the search, she knows her entire future depends upon his failure. He must never learn the truth. At any cost! Even if it means misleading him into thinking she is the Mayfair Shadow.
Love, loyalty, or the law—which will prevail?
