If You Give a Rake a Ruby (Jewels of the Ton)
Most men had one reason and one reason only for being in Fallon’s, the Marchioness of Mystery’s boudoir, but Warrick Fitzhugh is not like most men. Warrick has not come to avail himself of the professional services of London’s most infamous courtesan; Warrick needs a good thief. If Fallon doesn’t help Warrick locate Lucifer and steal back the diamonds in the rough from him, Warrick will see to it that everyone in society learns that Fallon is really former pickpocket Maggie Bayley. Fallon has worked very hard to ensure that no one except her three closest friends knows about her sordid past. Since Fallon intends to keep her past a mystery, she is left with no choice but to accept Warrick’s proposal. In the second in her Regency-set Jewel of the Ton series, Galen expertly entwines espionage-flavored intrigue with sizzling passion. The resulting fast-paced historical romance should be a hit with readers who fell in love with Celeste Bradley’s Liar’s Club and Royal Four titles. --John Charles
