(Derek Jacobi, star of I Claudius and Gladiator) "Vivid characters, devious plotting and buckets of gore are enhanced by his unfamiliar choice of period.... Nasty, fun and educational." (The Daily Telegraph) "He knows how to deliver a fast-paced story and his grasp of the period is impressively detailed." (The Mail on Sunday) "A rollicking and raunchy read . . . Anyone who enjoys their history with large dollops of action, sex, intrigue and, above all, fun will absolutely love this novel." (Historical Novels) "It would be hard to over-praise this extraordinary series, a near-perfect blend of historical detail and atmosphere with the plot of a conspiracy thriller, vivid characters, high philosophy and vulgar comedy." (The Morning Star) Richard Blake is an historian, broadcaster and university lecturer. His novels have been translated into Spanish, Italian, Greek, Slovak, Hungarian, Chinese and Indonesian. He lives in Kent with his wife and daughter.

Brimming with passionate emotion and compelling adventure, here is Jane Feather at her most unforgettable. As the stranger’s arms closed around her, Octavia Morgan knew she’d just made the biggest mistake of her life. Picking pockets had seemed the only answer to her desperate plight.

Haunted by his past and hungry for revenge, Lord Nick didn’t take kindly to being fleeced, especially by a ravishing thief with a deceptive air of innocence . . . until he realized that this reckless beauty could be the key to his long-sought vengeance. All he had to do was seduce her. All he had to do was ensnare her. All he had to do was enflame her . . . without letting this artful little pickpocket steal his heart.
