Juliet and Grant’s daring game of cat and mouse will take them from the glittering ballrooms of Grosvenor Square to the dangerous alleys of the East End as they try to outwit one another…and fight their growing passion. But when an enemy from Juliet’s past threatens her future, she has no other option except to trust the runner she has sworn to hate. Forced to choose between duty and desire, will Grant listen to his head…or risk everything to follow his heart

A THIEF WITH NOTHING TO LOSE…

Juliet is beautiful, intelligent…and one of the best thieves in all of London. Raised in the cutthroat streets of St. Giles, she’s learned to survive by whatever means necessary. Even if those means include pretending to be a highborn lady to avoid capture by The Wolf, one of Bow Street’s most cunning runners…and the only man to ever set her blood on fire.

A RUNNER WITH A SCORE TO SETTLE…

Grant is charismatic, titled…and second-in-command of the Bow Street Runners. When his captain orders him to find and arrest the lad who has been stealing jewelry from the ton’s elite he thinks it’s just another job. Until the lad turns out to be a five foot, four inch red-haired hellion with a penchant for knives…and the softest lips he’s ever kissed.

A DANGEROUS AFFAIR…

Forced to choose between duty and desire, will Grant listen to his head…or risk everything to follow his heart?

A Dangerous Affair

* Author’s Note: While the reader will have the best experience if they read the series in order, each book in the Bow Street Brides is a complete standalone. 

“Have we met before?” As the gleam in Grant’s eyes suddenly shifted from seduction to speculation, Juliet instinctively reached for her knife. She was fairly certain he didn’t recognize her – surely he would have done something by now if he had – but she wasn’t about to put her fate to chance. 

“I am afraid not, sir. I am certain I would remember meeting someone as handsome as yourself.” Her lashes fluttered even as her hand slipped beneath the folds of her cloak and closed around the hilt of her dagger. If she could take him by surprise she had a chance at escaping. But she did not have the luxury of hesitation. If she was going to do something, she needed to do it now. The second he recognized her it would be too late. He’d have her wrists in shackles and her arse sitting in the magistrate’s office before she could blink twice.

With her pulse thrumming in her ears, she started to draw out her knife…

“I suppose you’re right. I would never forget a face like yours.” One emerald eye flashed in a wink, and once again her belly fluttered. She bit back a frown. Maybe she was coming down with something. Her friend Sam had been sick as a dog for the past two weeks. But if that were true, why did she only feel odd when she was around Grant?

Wonderful, she thought darkly. He’s probably diseased.

“Let me accompany you to your carriage,” he said, continuing to play the knight in shining armour. “Young ladies such as yourself should not be walking alone, even in this part of town.”

With silent sigh of relief, she released the knife and clasped her hands together. Truth be told she hadn’t really wanted to hurt him. Not because she felt anything for him. That would be ridiculous. It simply wouldn’t be practical to stab him within spitting distance of Bow Street, and she was nothing if not practical.

Most of the time.

“If women are incapable of opening doors for themselves or walking down a street without a man by their side, what are they capable of?” she challenged, arching a brow.

A wickedly rakish grin tugged his mouth to the side. “An excellent question. Off the top of my head, I can think of nearly half a dozen things a woman is very capable of.” His voice lowered to a husky whisper. “And she wouldn’t even have to leave the bedroom to accomplish them.”

1 ebook copy of A Dangerous Seduction (International) and 1 signed paperback copy (US only) to be won.

Comment with an answer to this question to be in with a chance of winning…

Do you think a lower born person could succeed in fooling people that they are high born?

    With training and practice, the speech patterns, manners, and behaviors of the high born can be learned. Especially if a person is attractive, they will be accepted as long as they have a good story to back their claims of status.

    Sure, I see people do it all the time. What’s that saying “Fake it till you make it” Thanks for the chance.
