Criminals, con men, tricksters and toughs; five men who dwell in the shadow realms of Regency London live with risk and reward as a matter of course. While adept at all the scandalous arts necessary to conduct daring robberies or build illegal empires, love has never been part of their repertoire--until five daring, spirited women show them that a heart is the only thing worth stealing...
Anne Meadows is tired. She's been forced to exist in close quarters with Lord Simon Wakefield, the man who callously abandoned both her and their budding relationship many years ago, ever since he became friends with her mistress' husband. So far, she's successfully managed to ignore his presence in her life--but when she sees Simon in the village of their birth after he informed everyone that he was sick in London, her suspicion of the man and lingering sentiments compel Anne to investigate.
Lord Simon Wakefield is broken. He's fled to the village where he grew up because his guilt is catching up with him; he has no real claim to either his title or the Wakefield name, and succeeded in changing his life--and being named as the son of Henry Wakefield--thanks to forging a letter. Haunted by his past sins, horrified by who he's become, Simon doesn't want to do anything but hide--but when he sees Anne Meadows, he knows that everything is about to erupt into chaos.
Soon both of Simon's secrets are public knowledge. Anne and Simon are drawn together by shared history, shared frustration--and above all, shared passion that can no longer be denied.
But can Anne forgive him? And can Simon, living with both his mistakes and his desire to be a better person, finally find peace in Anne's arms?
