A Thief Like Night — Tammy Blackwell

Jonathan "Bricky" Barnes has come a long way since his days as a child on the streets of St. Giles. As one of the Duke of Sidhe's elite guards he works hard to keep his Oberon and the entire Touched population is safe from harm. Astrid Young is one of the best thieves in all of England, able to extract herself from any sticky situation until the day she breaks into the Marquess of Driscoll's Bath estate and finds herself face-to-face with the one man she's never been truly able to escape. Their pasts will be forever linked, but a betrayal may prevent their future from ever taking shape. With the peace between the Touched and Untouched fracturing at the edges, will Bricky be able to put his trust in the woman who once stole his heart and then walked away without looking back? A Thief Like Night is a novella of 37,000 words. It is recommended that it be read as the third installment of the Of Magic & Machine series.
