She's beyond his reach...
Gideon Harrow has spent his life in London's dark
underworld-and he wants out. A thief and a con, he plans
one
last heist to finally win his freedom. But when
everything
goes wrong, he finds himself at the tender mercies of one
of
Society's most untouchable women-Lady Susanna Derring.
...and out of her depth.
Susanna has spent her life in London's glittering ton,
under
the thumb of a domineering mother-and she wants out. When
a
wickedly charming rogue lands at her feet, she jumps at
the
chance to experience life before it's too late. But as
she
descends into London's underworld, she finds that
nothing-
not even Gideon-is as it seems. As excitement turns to
danger, Susanna must decide what price she's willing to
pay...for the love of a reformed thief.
I was raised in a VERY strict household, so my choices might seem a bit strange. 1. Wear make-up Not a lot, but at least be able to wear mascara and blush. 2. Go on a date To wait until 18 is a bit outdated. I feel at 16, it would be a proper age to date someone. 3. Be able to wear more up-to-date clothes I wore hand me downs, or had to dress looking like I came from the depression. I just wanted to look like I fit in a bit, without looking trashy. 4. Be able to be myself. If I laughed to much, or "got out of hand," I paid the price. I couldn't wait to get out of the house, and be on my own.
Although I didn't hang around with crooks, I can relate to your latest book, and put it on my TBR list. This is definitely going to be a good read for my Fall list!! Congratulations on your latest book!! (Peggy Roberson 10:12am September 2, 2015)
Peggy, it sounds like all the strictness made you want to rebel. But you also don't want to go too far. Your choices seem completely reasonable. Thanks! (Shana Galen 10:47am September 2, 2015)
