The Thief of Hearts

the long version

"You mark my words, one day Sara is going to fall for someone quite unsuitable and have her heart broken. It's always the way with females who are considered 'sensible'." — Everyone agreed Sara Auden was sensible. Until the day her carriage was stopped by a dashing highwayman. She was never the same after that encounter. She could think of nothing else. Then suddenly her highwayman became a guest at her home. He introduced himself as Richard Merrick, Earl of Melford. A friend of her brother's. But Sara knew who he really was--and what he wanted. She also knew her heart skipped a beat every time she saw him. Sara couldn't allow herself to fall in love with a common thief. Or was it already too late for her?
