<p><strong>His heart may be the last thing she ever steals...</strong></p><p>Marlowe is a pickpocket, a housebreaker-and a better actress than any professional on the stage. She runs with the Covent Garden Cubs, a gang of thieves living in the slums of London's Seven Dials. It's a fierce life, and Marlowe has a hard outer shell. But when she's alone, she allows herself to think of a time before-a dimly remembered life when she was called Elizabeth.</p><p>Maxwell, Lord Dane, is intrigued when his brother, a hired investigator, ropes him into his investigation of the fiercely beautiful hellion. He teaches her to navigate the social morass of the ton, but Marlowe will not escape so easily. Instead, Dane is drawn into her dangerous world, where the student becomes the teacher and love is the greatest risk of all.</p><p><strong>Praise for <em>If You Give a Rake a Ruby</em>:</strong><br>&quot;A gem of a read...Galen is at the top of her game.&quot; -<em>RT Book Reviews</em>, 4 stars, Top Pick of the Month<br>&quot;Brilliant historical romance!
