Con - Lord of Conquest
Rookeries crime king Connor Dyer faces off against a Regency era female Robin Hood whose good works go awry and land him in a damning stew.
Connor Dyer runs an efficient counterfeiting empire built on networks of quid pro quo until one day he discovers a Robin-Hood-like criminal dilettante has unintentionally stolen a fortune in counterfeit notes.
The faux notes circulating through his crime network fall harmlessly into the hands of the wealthy members of the ton who frequent his gambling hell. However, when a maddening, petite bluestocking thief proceeds to distribute phony money to the unsuspecting poor of Seven Dials, Con must intervene. The danger she poses to the poor families she’s unintentionally showered with fake money is bad enough. She could also wreak major damage on his own vast crime operation.
Marianne Oxley has traded a lifetime of being a virtual prisoner on her father’s vast Welsh estate for burglaries targeting the wealthy abodes of the ton.
Her skill as a crack archer is all that saves her from capture. Her father, through a generous allowance, unknowingly underwrites her devious maneuverings. She wants to plunder the wealthiest men of the ton to help the poor of East London’s rookeries.
No matter her good intentions, Con must take her down, and fast, before the stolen counterfeit notes land all over the East End of London, bringing unwanted attention from Bow Street onto his brotherhood of gangs. Whilst Con tries to neutralize her thieving ways, Marian plots to change his cruel, dismissive, secretive attitude and turn him into the perfect man…
Will these two battle to a final, fatal ending, or will the scorching heat between them turn their differences into a fiery conflagration?
