An omnibus of novels by Jane Thornley
Hoards of ancient treasure, priceless Renaissance art, rare and vulnerable textiles ... can one bad-assed knitter defend them all?

Instead, she's about to save history.
"More Please! I can't describe the joy of a book that actually kept me awake and reading through the early hours and more..." --reviewer
"I just finished binge-reading this series. I lost a lot of sleep because of the "just one more chapter" syndrome that would take me to 5 o'clock in the morning!!! The characters are believeable, complex and relatable. The story lines keep you glued to the book and give the best action movie ever made a run for its money. I can't wait for more!" --reviewer
After a disastrous treasure heist in Bermuda, knitter and textile historian Phoebe McCabe bolts to London to run a rare carpet gallery and slam the door on her past once and for all. But the family skeletons won't stay in the closet, the stalkers won't leave her alone, and every black market cartel in Europe will kill to get what they think she knows. Now she must stop
With occasional help from the urbane and secretive Sir Rupert Fox and his former MI6 assistant, plus her godfather and the perpetually confounding involvement of his sexy archaeologist son, Noel, Phoebe becomes snarled in heist after heist while being chased by Interpol and black market cutthroats alike. Whose side is she on? Can love rule out over conscience? What Phoebe does to finally resolve her tangled priorities is the stuff that a best-selling series is made of.
In Rogue Wave, Phoebe sets out to locate her missing brother and finds far more than she bargains for but not what she ultimately needs. In Warp in the Weave, Phoebe moves to London to co-run a rare carpet gallery before tracking down a priceless antique carpet shrouded in mystery hanging by a thread. In Beautiful Survivor, a missing countess and a crumbling villa lead Phoebe to a hoard of Etruscan gold and a family reunion a long time coming.
Moving from one beautifully described location to another, author (and knitwear designer) Jane Thornley weaves colorful characters with threads of intrigue, history, and romance, to create three standalone fast-paced thrillers that will leave you craving more. Read on to books 4 and 5 in a series readers claim to be binge-worthy.
If you love humor, exotic locals, and page-turning action, here is your series. What readers are saying:
