Book Description:
As the daughter of a renowned actress, Verity Travers is a
privileged lady of high society —and the last woman one would suspect of
working as a private investigator. But after one case nearly costs her
everything, she makes the hard decision to hang up her hat and live the
uninspiring life of a gentlewoman. However, when she and her dearest
friend become victims of a harrowing armed robbery, Verity finds herself
swept back into the clandestine world of mystery and crime as she seeks
to bring the thief to justice. There’s just one complication: the
persistent and dashingly handsome Bow Street Runner Nathaniel Denning,
who always seems to cross her path.
Verity is confident she
could accomplish her work quickly if only Nathaniel would stay out of
her way. While she appreciates his keen mind and quick wit on a case,
his interference is muddling her progress—and her heart. Focusing on the
task at hand becomes more and more difficult as she constantly bumps
into Nathaniel, who is determined to keep her out of danger.
When
the two rival investigators learn they are both pursuing the same
cunning criminal, they must figure out how to navigate the delicate
dance of cooperation amid a backdrop of increasing peril and an
irresistible passion that sets their hearts ablaze.
Review:
It's been awhile since I read A Heart Worth Stealing, but I enjoyed how Ginny and Jack played a part in this book. It made me want to go back and re-read their story. But Verity and Nathaniel were quite the handful all on their own. I got a kick out of how often Verity managed to find herself right in the middle of all sorts of challenges. And how she was usually not very sorry about it.
Their chemistry just worked, and the author did a wonderful job bringing both major and minor characters to life.
