Book Description:
A woman compelled. . .
In the glittering world of Regency England, Anne Wilder played a dangerous game. A widowed lady by day, by night she became a masked thief preying on society's elite. She roved high above London's black rooftops, compelled by phantoms from her past to take ever greater risks. Until her restless spirit led her into Colonel Jack Seward's trap. . . where seduction was her only way out.
A man obsessed. . .
She'd played him for a fool, taking advantage of his hungry response to escape from his clutches. But as Jack hunted for his thief, his heart fell captive to a self-possessed widow. Torn between illicit passion and tender love, Jack is duty-bound to capture the audacious criminal, even if it means ripping society apart to do so. Now he stalked her through the ton, never realizing the lovely widow who captured his heart was the same woman who roused his most violent passions.
A love that defied king and country. . .

This was my first Brockway and I absolutely loved it. For starters, it was the first Regency romance I'd read in which neither the hero nor the heroine are members of nobility. The "catch me if you can", spy vs thief mystery adds suspense without getting away from romance. The hero/heroine have sizzling chemistry. I wish it had an epilogue.

A dark premise, exciting characters and a suspenseful spy plot. What more could one ask for? Well...the first half was both intriguing and sweet but I expected more fire from Anne and Jack in the second half, especially after their explosive first encounter.
Overall a good read, but somewhat uneven and the ending was a bit abrupt.

Now Jack stalked her through the ton, never realizing the self-possessed widow he was attracted to and the thief he was hunting were one in the same.
I liked it. Rrgency England - TIME 1817 A widowed lady by day, she becomes a masked thief by night.
In Regency England a thief (the Wraith) is stealing jewels. Colonel Jack Seward is assigned to catch the jewel thief--but a midnight encounter surprises Jack when he discovers that the Wraith is a woman. Stalking the jewel thief by assimilating into the "ton's" parties, Jack soon becomes attracted to a widow with a checkered past. Will she be able to hide from him? Will he figure out that the demure widow is not what she seems?
