Book excerpt: HAS ENGLAND'S INFAMOUS BRIDE THIEF FINALLY MET HIS MATCH?Samantha Briggeham is far more interested in science than marriage, and is horrified when her well-meaning but ill-advised parents announce their plan for her to marry. Sammie has no intention of being betrothed--especially to a man she does not love. Her clever plan to unbetroth herself goes perfectly--until she is swept into a pair of powerful arms and spirited away by a masked rider. News of Sammie's heroic rescue by the Bride Thief turns her into the toast of the ton, wooed by suitors far and wide. But she can't forget the swashbuckling, mysterious brigand who abducted her. Then she meets Eric Landsdowne, the dashing and seductive Earl of Wesley... His exploits are legendary, his life filled with danger, the hangman's noose a constant and growing threat. With his true identity a scrupulously guarded secret, the elusive Bride Thief helps women escape the unhappy fate of forced, arranged marriages. But when he mistakenly rescues the newly unbetrothed Sammie, Eric finds himself battling feelings he believed long buried. Marriage is out of the question, which leaves only one option: A clandestine affair that can lead to scandal, social ruin, and the unmasking and ultimate death of England's Notorious Bride Thief."A passionate tale peopled with appealing characters, D'Alessandro's newest Regency-era romance is fresh, funny and loaded with charm"--Publishers Weekly"Jacquie D'Alessandro writes romance at its enchanting best!"--New York Times Best Selling author Teresa Medeiros"Full of charm and love and laughter...a delightful read."--Affaire de CoeurDear Reader, The Bride Thief was originally published in 2002. I am delighted to be able to make this classic Regency-era historical romance available again to readers who missed it the first time around. The story sprang from a tiny seed of an idea that took root in my mind after watching the movie The Mask of Zorro. I immediately knew I had to write a masked hero, and soon after The Bride Thief was born. I hope you enjoy Samantha and Eric's love story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I wish you much good health, happiness, and of course, romance.Best regards,Jacquie D'Alessandro

Book excerpt: “The most must-read of all must-reads.” —Marie Claire “A kickass debut from start to finish.” —Colson Whitehead, author of The Underground Railroad Lee Cuddy is seventeen years old and on the run. Betrayed by her family after taking the fall for a friend, Lee finds refuge in a cooperative of runaways holed up in an abandoned building they call the Crystal Castle. But the façade of the Castle conceals a far more sinister agenda, one hatched by a society of fanatical men set on decoding a series of powerful secrets hidden in plain sight. And they believe Lee holds the key to it all. Aided by Tomi, a young hacker and artist with whom she has struck a wary alliance, Lee escapes into the unmapped corners of the city—empty aquariums, deserted motels, patrolled museums, and even the homes of vacationing families. But the deeper she goes underground, the more tightly she finds herself bound in the strange web she’s trying to elude. Desperate and out of options, Lee steps from the shadows to face who is after her—and why. A novel of puzzles, conspiracies, secret societies, urban exploration, art history, and a singular, indomitable heroine, The Readymade Thief heralds the arrival of a spellbinding and original new talent in fiction.
