A Victorian twist on Robin Hood.

The Earl of Rochelle, Nikolas Whitworth, is handsome, charming. And a traitor.

He can outwit and outcon any Englishman—and any Englishwoman. When his debts are called in a savior appears, the criminal mastermind known only as the Tailor.

Nikolas is bought and sold, his future no longer his. But when a beguiling thief picks his pocket, Rosalyn Devereaux steals more than his coin. Orphaned as a child, Rosalyn trusts no one. She picks the pockets of lords and ladies alike, donating her spoils to the poor. The Tailor notices her skills and demands Rosalyn enlist in his cause.

With every moment beside Rosalyn, Nikolas changes from a life of lies to a man with a conviction. She occupies his every thought but can Nikolas outcon the Tailor and secure Rosalyn’s heart before the Tailor steals his love?

Excerpt

On her bed she separated the coins from the banknotes. She hiked up her skirt and pinned the notes to undergarments. She would drop off her deposit to Mr. Thomas, a solicitor recommended by a friend.

The money would be out of reach from even the most talented pick pockets. Cupping the coins, she filled her pockets and made her way toward the church. With a quick flick, she opened the top of the alms box and placed the coins inside. The vicar didn’t charge her a penny for her meek quarters in the hidden garden, nor did he ever express surprise at the sudden increase in donations. The old man was a widower twice over and left Rosalyn as much privacy as she desired. The sound of the coins hitting the bottom of the box brought a nod from the vicar sweeping between the pews. Rosalyn had once vowed to burn every church in England but the quiet vicar had made her pause. Perhaps there were a few good men left in this forsaken country.

A wicked grin crept across her face. She didn’t care how many men—good or bad—were left in England. She only cared about the man she was hunting.

  2. This is such a fabulous cover. And the book sounds amazing. One of my great nieces is only 9 yrs old and for the last two years she has been winning first place in bow and arrow. She shoots with the wooden bow. She is a tiny thing with red hair and a temper to match.
    I love Friar Tuck. He is such a happy and jolly soul
