**She stole ledgers, not gold. But her greatest theft? His heart.** In the shadowed world of 1760s England, Isolde Hartley appears to be what society expects: a ruined gentlewoman, quiet, forgotten, harmless. But by night, she is Cinder-the elusive highwayman who robs corrupt magistrates not for coin, but for secrets. Her ledger holds the names of every man who destroyed her family. and she's writing their reckoning in ink and fire. When disgraced ex-Bow Street Runner Rafe Carver uncovers her secret, he doesn't turn her in.
Instead, he offers an alliance: help him stop a trafficking ring led by the most dangerous man in Kent-Lord Everard Vane, the very nobleman who ruined her father. Forced to trust each other in stolen moments-from the glittering masquerade of Vauxhall Gardens to the cold attic where truths are whispered-they forge a bond as fierce as it is fragile. But as Vane tightens his grip and the noose closes, Isolde must choose: vengeance.
or a future worth surviving for. From Seraphina Sinclair comes a richly atmospheric, emotionally gripping historical romance-perfect for fans of *Outlander, The Dressmaker's Secret. and Bridgerton with a rebel's heart. Featuring slow-burn tension, authentic 18th-century detail, and a heroine who redefines justice on her own terms.
