A Talent for Trickery by Alissa Johnson
Summary: Years ago, Owen
Renderwell earned acclaim-and a title-for the dashing rescue of a kidnapped
duchess. But only a select few knew that Scotland Yard's most famous detective
was working alongside London's most infamous thief...and his criminally
brilliant daughter, Charlotte Walker.
Lottie was like no other woman in Victorian England. She challenged him. She dazzled him. She questioned everything he believed and everything he was, and he has never wanted anyone more. And then he lost her. Now a private detective on the trail of a murderer, Owen has stormed back into Lottie's life. She knows that no matter what they may pretend, he will always be a man of the law and she a criminal. Yet whenever he's near, Owen has a way of making things complicated...and long for a future that can never be theirs.
Angie’s comments: A Talent for Trickery is the first in the
Thief-takers series, and it is a promising beginning. It has humor, but the
characters are fully fleshed, and have their own issues. Some spice, but the
characters show a lot of introspection.
