London, 1784. The valet is a thief taker. His gentleman is a thief. Everyone is lying.
Elias Cole spent eight years hunting outlaws. Now he's certain the notorious highwayman Wessex is Viscount Rowsley. To prove it, Elias joins his household as valet to Rowsley's distracting younger brother, Kit.
Christopher 'Kit' Duvall is resorting to desperate measures to save his family from ruin. He despises Society and has no need for a valet. But he recognises Elias immediately. Kit knows exactly what Elias is and who he's hunting, because it's him.
He is Wessex.
While playing the honest gentleman, Kit keeps his enemy close and quietly misdirects his suspicions. Elias is blind to Kit's game, partly because he's too busy playing his own—but mostly because they're falling in love...
Two men. Two lies. And a truth that will cost them everything.
Thief Taker is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers historical romance about two men lying to each other from the beginning—and falling for each other anyway.
For readers of KJ Charles, Cat Sebastian, and Joanna Chambers.
Contains: a grumpy thief taker undercover, a highwayman playing both sides, duelling deceptions, class-crossed lovers, one bed (eventually), and a happy ending they fight like hell to win.
