Unlikely alliances form when a killer is on the loose... but who can be trusted?

The Home Office has asked Sir Bertrand Thorndike to head an investigation into stolen royal jewels. And as with everything concerning the Prince Regent, discretion is paramount. 

It's the perfect chance for Bertie to step out of his brother's long shadow. Unfortunately, his superior, The Duke of Haverly, has a plan that makes him balk: in order to sell his cover, Bertie must play the part of a man looking for love, ready to reform his rakish ways. The duke is willing to let Bertie name his own investigative team, but his recommendation that the team include 

Philippa Cashel has Bertie on his guard. Does the duke--known for his behind-the-scenes machinations--have an ulterior motive? Philippa Cashel escaped her life as one of society's best-known courtesans, devoting her life to helping other women in dire straits. So when Sir Bertrand Thorndike approaches her about joining his team as an agent of the Crown, she is skeptical. Why her? She's focused on getting her school for underprivileged women up and running, not in cloak-and-dagger skullduggery. Her hope is that if she labors hard enough at her charity work, she might begin to feel worthy of God's forgiveness of her past. 

When one of Philippa's rescued girls is arrested for stealing the royal jewels and another is murdered, Philippa will risk partnering with Bertie to find the loot and stop the killer. 

Two brilliant minds--with two wary hearts--and one cunning deceiver are on a collision course in Regency England. 

Beloved Regency author Erica Vetsch begins this new series with all the elements that keep her readers coming back. From historical accuracy to rousing mystery to deep character faith journeys, A Thieving at Carlton House will please Regency lovers--and anyone else who loves a great story.

EXCERPT:

They stood before a rather seedy-looking manor, vacant for the last decade but owned by the Asbury family. The property had been for lease for some time, probably because of its proximity to the Horse-monger Lane Gaol. She had been certain they could secure the tenancy but had not considered the owner’s reservations about their occupancy.

It was as if, from her birth, God had decided her path would be obstructed and she would have to fight for every inch in this life. She would spend the rest of her natural existence striving to atone for her past, overcoming hurdle after barrier—yet it was a past He had a part in subjecting her to.

She had long ago given up expecting life to be fair.

Philippa considered Mr. Asbury, what she knew about him, his fussy mannerisms, his foppish dress, the way he looked at her as if not quite able to forget what she had been.

Time to lay on some charm.
