London 1825. When a young American heiress arrives at a Society ball draped in long-lost sapphires and diamonds belonging to the late Duchess of Ashington, jaws drop and tempers rise.
Thirty years earlier, those jewels vanished after a deadly shooting party. Now, they've resurfaced around the neck of the odious Marquess of Talybridge's beautiful betrothed.
The current Duke of Ashington wants them back where they belong, and his close friends are only too happy to plot a daring heist on his behalf. But he's not the only man with his eyes on the prize. A mysterious French viscount, new to London and shrouded in scandal, wants them too.
Enter Mickey Maurice, gambling hell owner Tommy Squire's right-hand man. Loyal and discreet, Mickey glides through Society largely unobserved. Under the duke's instruction, he's tasked with seducing the truth out of the foreigner.
But when secrets, schemes, and seductions collide, the real thief might just be a matter of the heart. And for young Mickey, love might be the riskiest heist of all.
This fourth book in the Rossingley Regency romance series features friends old and new, a jewel heist, and lashings of falling in love. It can be read as a standalone.
