Thieves at Heart — Alina Adams

A CRAFTY MISS...
Pity poor Lark Talbot -- stranded by happenstance on Lord and Lady Raynes' doorstep in a torrential rainstorm, with nowhere to turn now that her employer is temporarily abroad. In truth, however, the unfortunate young thing is not all what she seems -- but rather a brazen con artiste with designs on England's largest diamond, which just happens to be in the Raynes family's possession.
A CUNNING CAD...
Dashing Damian Moxley, the handsome suitor of the Raynes' daughter, Phillipa, sees through Lark's clever ruse. After all, it takes a thief to know one -- and Damian has his sights set on the same glittering prize. But competing for an exquisite gem may prove the undoing of two charming felons -- especially once they discover that true love can reform even the most larcenous heart.
