Back of Book Description:

Lord Lambeth can't help but be captivated by the lovely Marianne Cotterwood though he knows she's hiding a secret. The desire he feels for this mysterious woman is powerful, as is the need to unravel her mystery...

Marianne can't remember anything of her life before she ended up in an orphanage. Her future changes again when she is taken in by a warmly eccentric family of pic pockets and thieves. Marianne's inborn grace makes her a natural thief, mingling with ease among the wealthy to find pigeons to pluck. Then Lord Lambeth catchers her in the act...

But someone else is interested in Marianne's secrets as well. A dangerous shadow from her past is closing in, and Marianne finds she has no choice but to place her trust in the one man she fears may be as reckless as she...

My Rating: A

My Review: This book had more twists and turns than most of it's kind, that I've read. The characters were extremely well rounded and well thought out just like the plot. I found the portrayal of the people of the time was done well, and convincingly. I was a little disappointed in the lack of Marianne's 'other' family in the book, but when they were in the story they were great fun.
