260. To Love a Thief – Julie Anne Long, Warner Forever Historical Romance, April 2005, ISBN: 0446614262, 355p.                            NFM

I read this back at the beginning of the year, so I don't remember many particulars.  I just know it's one of my favorite series of books, featuring a commitment-phobic professional thief heroine and a rich hero whose morals make their relationship...tricky.

191. Caught in the Act (unnamed series, 2) – Pam McCutcheon, Zebra Contemporary Romance, March 2005, ISBN: 0821775103, 319p.

Featuring: Nicole Dreyfuss and Scott Richmond

Back Cover:

Two of his heirs having been ruled out, the king turns to the black sheep of the family...
Luca Fierezza is a royal rebel. He's made Niroli a magnet for the rich and famous -- and himself a billionaire.
Megan Donovan's stunned when she's jailed after working at Luca's casino. And her unlikely rescuer is her new boss, Luca! She's entirely at his mercy -- and his passion!
A scandal will end Luca's chance to be king. But he wants little thief Megan at his beck and call, day and night!
  

Favourite Scene: (best explanation for a misunderstanding!)

‘That,’ Antoinette said, in broken English, ‘is the boss, Luca Fierezza. He owns the casino. A prince.’
For a simple woman like Antoinette, Meg reasoned, such an enigmatic personality would seem like a prince. Not for a second did it enter her head that nothing had been lost in translation.
