The Lady Who Stole Christmas

by Sydney Jane Baily

Overview

A Yuletide gathering at Forde Hall is bursting with mince pies, mulled wine, merriment, and . . . mischief! Prinny's trusted man, Lord Miles Denbigh, is tasked with discovering the identity of a wily thief who has been plaguing the ton's house parties and stealing their jewels.

Comely widow Lady Sarah Worthington has enjoyed Denbigh's company before. However, much as she likes the viscount, she had not expected to spend Twelvetide in his company, not when she has a secret mission, and certainly not when he suspects she's up to something. Just because he's right, doesn't mean she has to like it!
Join Miles and Sarah in a Christmastime game of cat and mouse.

Every Rakes on the Run novel from USA Today bestselling author Sydney Jane Baily contains a rakish hero, a saucy beauty, a steamy story, and a satisfying ending!

About the Author

With degrees in English literature and history, she has spent her entire professional career in publishing on both the editing and writing sides of the desk. She is also a world-renowned cat and dog snuggler, and proud mother of two.

A first-generation American daughter of Brits from either end of London, Sydney resides in New England with her family — human, feline, and canine. The rest of her extended family live in the U.K. where she spent many happy childhood summers. She loves shandies, Maltesers, Cadbury bars, and anything from Harrods food hall or in a Fortnum and Mason's basket. (Feel free to send her something to eat!)

This is a charming and fun story with wonderful characters, witty conversations, sizzling hot chemistry, lots of funny hijinks and a wonderful plot! Such sweet suspense.

Thank you so much Ms. Baily for this fun and sensuous holiday tale.

I adored Sarah and Miles. The attraction sizzled and with a game of cat and mouse, it was simply delightful! I also have to say that Sydney threw in so many new words and names of games that it was so much fun to look them up! Brilliant!

So far I have only read clean stories by the author, so it was a pleasure to read one with a more sensual side than her usual's.

Her heroes have both an agenda, and while they can't stop brushing one another's with purposeful hands and bantering wits and having not-fit-for-a-tearoom thoughts, they try but fail to stay out of sight of the other.

Hence the game of cat and mouse.
A delightful and sensuous tale of second chance. 5 stars
