Scoundrels, thieves and rebels inhabit the rookeries–where the women are fierce and the men are dangerous. Are you willing to take the risk?
WHEN AN UNDERWORLD PRINCESS…
Beautiful, innocent Mina Mason has led a sheltered life as the sister to the most notorious crime lord in England. Her family’s wealth and expectations keep her in a gilded cage, never able to act on her true desires. Like kissing — and engaging in far more scandalous behavior with–Charlie Thatcher, her childhood best friend. As a member of a rival gang, Charlie is distinctly off-limits.
FALLS FOR THE WRONG MAN…
Charlie Thatcher has known since he was a boy where his loyalties should lie: with the Chapman Street Thieves, who saved him from a brutal death in the dark alleys of the Ratcliffe rookery. As a bartender for the Three Boars public house, he protects his fellow brothers with his mind and his fists. But when one of those members threatens Mina’s safety, Charlie’s primal, protective instincts are triggered–and his defense of her puts them both in danger.
PASSION MAY BE THEIR DOWNFALL.

Stealing the Rogue’s Heart is a dark, gritty, and sexy romantic suspense set in pre-Victorian working class London. While it is book four in the Rookery Rogues series, it can be read as a stand-alone historical romance.

Mina Mason perched on a barstool in the Three Boars public house. Every Friday night for the past four years, she’d sat on this very seat, her slipper-clad feet barely reaching the bottom rung of the stool. For Mina, this stool—a dilapidated oak with three legs that had long ago seen better days—was more welcoming than any of the plush, absurdly expensive armchairs in her brother’s sprawling townhouse. Here, deep in the heart of the Ratcliffe rookery, she wasn’t a princess locked in a tower.
She was simply Mina, a woman with her own desires and life.
And so every week, for three hours, Mina would come here and escape from her sheltered existence. She’d pretend she was just like everyone else here, even if one of Joaquin’s men sat across the room, watching her every move. His gang, the Kings, were such a constant presence in her life that most of the time she ignored them. It was easier than arguing with her brothers.
She darted a glance toward Joaquin’s man, Isaac, in the back of the room. He’d been her guard for the last year, though his presence was largely unnecessary. The guard before him had insisted on sitting next to her. Isaac, however, agreed she didn’t need such close observance.
She’d never run into trouble here. While the Three Boars was considered a meeting house of the rival Chapman Street Gang, she didn’t have anything to do with her brother’s organization. Surely, there’d be no reason for the men to think she was a threat.
