A down-on-her-luck shop girl and the son of an earl find they have more in common than they’d think—including sexual chemistry they can’t resist—in this fresh Regency romance by Shana Galen.

Tamsin Archer might just be having the worst year of her life. And that’s saying something, considering her father is dead, her mother was maimed at work, and her family regularly sleeps under London’s bridges. But when her younger siblings go missing, Tamsin decides it’s time to step up and fight.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Tamsin’s more than willing to take a few risks to reunite with her siblings. But while disguising herself to sneak into homes and steal from the rich, Tamsin is caught by Garrett Kildaire, an earl’s second son and the biggest threat she’s faced yet. Thinking quickly, Tamsin strikes a deal: Garrett will get her into the exclusive places she needs to continue her search, and she’ll give him what he wants—her.

Garrett knows he must be careful—being seen with a woman of a lower class could be the nail in the coffin for his family’s tenuous social standing. But resisting their chemistry proves impossible, and soon there’s much more between them than their bargain. But there are eyes everywhere, and as more focus lands on Tamsin and Garret, the unlikely pair wonder if their red-hot connection means giving up everything—and everyone—they’ve ever known.
