Rejecting the Rogue by Riley Cole

Thieves make the best rogues. And the worst heartbreakers. Philomena Sweet, Victorian London’s finest safecracker, knows it better than most. The worst rogue of them all, dashing jewel thief Spencer Crane, smashed hers long ago. And now he’s back, fleeing danger from their past. Danger he won’t survive without her help.

She’d love to refuse. She’d kill to stab him with her parasol. But she can’t leave him for dead.

Spencer Crane would sooner steal costume jewelry than ask talented, wickedly bright Meena Sweet for help. He’s well aware she’d rather dice him into small pieces. He might even deserve it. But revenge stalks them both. He needs her artistry. She needs his skills. Neither needs the desire that sparks to life between them. While they dodge criminals, carriages, and the occasional flying cabbage, who will protect these two notorious thieves from each other?
