The Spinster and the Thief

Résumé

He came for her gold, then stole her heart instead...

THE SPINSTER...

Her uncle sent her to the king’s court to find a husband. But four years have gone by, and still no suitable man has asked for Zovinar’s hand… Unable to go home, she spends the many balls waiting for them to be over – until, on the night of the crown prince’s visit, a man she has never seen before steps from the shadows.

THE THIEF...

Garreth is on a mission. Injustice must be exposed. His banished friends must be found. He needs money, he needs to stay alive – and he certainly doesn’t need a fragile, timid lady to get in his way while he’s fleeing the palace with her friends’ jewellery in his pockets. But after she catches him red-handed, he has little choice but to comply with her wishes and accompany her back to the ballroom.

A DANCE WITH DEATH...

A single dance. A hurried flight. It should have been their last and only meeting. But their dance has drawn unwelcome attention, and suddenly the spinster and the thief find themselves caught in a web of old lies and new dangers. With a ruthless prince on their trail, the forbidden desire igniting between them may be the least of their troubles…
