Synopsis:
Lovers and enemies look the same in the dark...
England 1799: A lady thief robs a spy–and from that moment on, the price of love is highway robbery...
Former spy Gabriel d’Aubrigny, the Chevalier de Lesgardes, returns to England with a purse of gold and plans to start a new life. His luck vanishes like mist on the heath when a highwayman takes even his horse. Penniless, Gabriel must turn to the enigmatic spymaster, Sir Alaric Fitzwilliam, for work. His mission: to pose as a courtier and unmask a man suspected of using dark magic against the Throne...
After stealing from a handsome traveler, Anne Tremaine uses her new fortune to pose as a wealthy widow. While hunting London society for an old enemy, she meets Gabriel once more. Every encounter with the Frenchman is a dangerous game, for his touch ignites desire--but one slip might send her from his embrace to the gallows. Then again, she would wager her stolen jewels that Gabriel is not as he appears...
Comments:
I picked this up because of the thief aspect. While reading it, I discovered that it has magic in it - I had expected only a historical. Also, I realized this is the third in a series. And now I will be looking for the other two, Step Into the Darkness and Draw Down the Darkness.
