Description
Only one man in England can identify her. Unfortunately he’s living next door.
Ten years ago sixteen year old Sapphire, the greatest jewel thief England has ever known, ruined Lord Devorlane Hawley’s life by planting a stolen necklace on him. Now she’s dead and buried, all Cassidy Armstrong wants is the chance to prove she was never that girl.
But her new neighbor is hell-bent on revenge and his word can bring her down. So when he asks her to be his mistress, or leave the county with a price on her head, Sapphire, who hates being owned, must decide . . .
What’s left for a woman with nowhere else to go, but to stay exactly where she is?
And hope, that when it comes to neighbors, Devorlane Hawley won’t prove to be the one from hell.
Loved this sparring tale of two damaged people who think they’re enemies! Both Cass and Devorlane are addicts with different addictions. Both have been hurt. And when they meet again, a decade after their first encounter, they can’t deny the attraction between them. I loved the way Cass almost has a split personality. And I thought that Devorlane’s struggle with his addiction was refreshingly honest. Both characters had my sympathy and the situations they find themselves in often made me laugh aloud! This is historical romance, with a difference! (It’s fun to read!)
