Faith Jarvis has spent most of her 20 years on the mean streets of London, having been abandoned by her family as a child. She has no choice but to work for Jack Swift, a mean and violent criminal mastermind who has his network of thieves. One night, Faith and her young partner spot a target and intend to relieve the gentleman of his purse. Unfortunately for them, Troyce de Meir, Third Baron of Westborogh, is not an easy victim.
I felt like the plot had so much more potential. I think I was expecting more passionate emotions from the hero and heroine. I guess that's because I read this book right after rereading Once and Always by Judith McNaught. I just think the author could have pushed a little harder. But still a good read.
This is the sequel to AN UNLIKELY LADY. I didn't enjoy it as much as that book. You don't have to read the first book to make sense of this one.
The title didn't really fit. The heroine is not particularily scandalous, and no one finds out that she's a high-born lady until the very end of the book.

This was OK. I didn't realize it was a sequel. Unique plot, believable characters, but the title was way off. It was about a kidnapped American heiress who ends up like little orphan Annie on the docks of London. She's not scandalous at all! Even when his lordship whisks her away to his "castle."
