Rogue Charmers - by Caitlyn Paxson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A lady fallen upon hard times and an infamous outlaw join forces in this sapphic, swashbuckling fantasy romance full of horses, hijinks, and highway robbery from the author of A Widow's Charm.

"Highwaymen, masquerades, jailbreaks, riots, romance--Rogue Charmers delighted me completely, and it will delight you, too. I suspect Paxson is one of those authors whose every book is better than the last."--Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of The Everlasting

Life has not been easy for Lady Isobel Arris. After marrying a scoundrel who lost her fortune and then fled, she finds herself broke and out of options. When more debts threaten what little safety she and her daughter have left, it becomes clear that that their salvation may lie outside the polite rules of society. Especially when Issie learns that her daughter has a powerful Charm--a forbidden magical talent.

For the past several years, Han has ridden as half of the notorious highwayman duo known as the Rogue Charmers, stealing from the city's gentry to balance the scales, and there's no denying that her long-hidden Charm makes her the perfect thief. The last thing she expects to find inside a carriage one night during a robbery is the lady she fell hopelessly in love with ten years before. 

For Han, reuniting with Issie could provide a second chance at romance, if she can convince herself that she deserves it. For Issie, joining the Rogue Charmers is an opportunity to pay her debts and save her daughter--but as they embark upon a series of criminal escapades together, Issie realizes that the one thing she truly wants to steal is Han's heart.
