A down-on-her-luck shop girl and the son of an earl find they have more in common than they thoughtβincluding sexual chemistry they canβt resistβin this fresh Regency romance by Shana Galen.
Tamsin Archer might just be having the worst year of her life. And thatβs saying something, considering her father is dead, her mother was maimed at work, and her family regularly sleeps under Londonβs bridges. But when her younger siblings go missing, Tamsin decides itβs time to step up and fight.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Tamsinβs more than willing to take a few risks to reunite with her siblings. But while disguising herself to sneak into homes and steal from the rich, Tamsin is caught by Garret Kildare, the second son of an earl. Much to Tamsinβs surprise, Garret doesnβt want to turn her in. He wants toΒ helpΒ her. Though Tamsinβs waryβsheβs learned to never trust supposed βgood luckββthe unlikely pair form an alliance, one that quickly muddles their class differences.Β
Garret knows he must be careful. Falling for a woman of a lower class could be the nail in the coffin for his familyβs tenuous social standing, and there are eyes everywhere. Ignoring their attraction proves impossible, though, and soon the lines theyβve drawn around their partnership begin to blur. As more focus lands on Tamsin and Garret, they wonder if their red-hot connection means giving up everythingβand everyoneβtheyβve ever known.
