Daring the Duke
Avon
August 2005Anne Mallory
What can a thief and a duke possibly have in common? Not much unless they are Audrey Kendrick, the legendary London thief known as Hermes, and Stephen Chalmers, gentleman spy and the new Duke of Marston. For years they have been playing a game.a game of cat and mouse where the agile thief has constantly eluded capture. Finally, as the hunter, Stephen has discovered her identity and his prey in his sights. But something is holding him back from turning her over to the authorities and throwing her into Newgate prison for good. He's determined to find out what's behind the beautiful thief's recent activities and to reveal her ultimate scheme, but in order to do so, he must keep her close. Unfortunately for him, if he doesn't take care, the clever thief may make off with something more valuable than material goods - his heart.
Audrey can trust no one and can only rely on herself and her wits. She's had to do so ever since she was sold as a child to a leader of a street gang and trained to be pickpocket. The handsome duke is not only a big obstacle to her plans, but also her target. If she fails her mission, all that she holds dear will be lost and her future will end with the hangman's noose. How can she do what she must with his intelligent green eyes tracking her every movement? As she becomes more and more entangled with him while in pursuit of her goal, she must struggle between what she must do and what she wants to do. How can she betray him? How can she not?
Anne Mallory's Daring the Duke is a triumphant follow-up to her critically- acclaimed debut novel, Masquerading the Marquess. Anne has crafted yet another wonderful story of danger and desire with two vibrant characters, Audrey and Stephen. Daring the Duke is filled with wit, action, plot twists, and romance. Don't miss this great read!
