57. Pickpocket Countess - Bronwyn Scott (Nikki Poppen), Harlequin Historical Regency #889, February 2008, ISBN: 9780373294893, 281p.
Featuring: Nora (The Cat of Manchester, Elenor Habersham) and Brandon Wycroft, Earl of Stockport
Synopsis:
It's Brandon Wycroft's duty as the Earl of Stockport to catch the "Cat," a notorious thief who is stealing from rich local homes to feed the poor. Discovering that the Cat is a woman, he changes his plan of action—to a game of seduction!
Mysterious and tempting, she teases him. And, as the net closes around the Cat, Brandon realizes he wants to protect her as well as bed her. But the only way to catch her is to spring the parson's mousetrap—and make her his countess!
Comments:
A satisfying story to go along with a satisfying cover 
. I believe this is the first by this author under this name (she also writes under the name Nikki Poppen). I'm looking forward to reading more by her.
The great gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap [Hah! It most certainly is not!], it consoles, it distracts, it excites. It gives knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is moral illumination. ~ Elizabeth Hardwick
