London's most talented criminal is about to be fingered...Lady Viola Preston can relieve a gentleman of the studs at his wrists without his being any the wiser and pick any lock devised by man in less than a minute. But she's careful to wear gloves when she steals jewels. Because when Viola touches a gemstone with her bare skin, it "speaks" to her, sending disturbing visionsvisions almost as unsettling as the sight of the cool-eyed stranger who catches her red handed. Now Viola will only be stealing at Greydon Quinn's behest. And even more daunting than the violent history of the red diamond he's after is the prospect of a night in the devastatingly handsome lieutenant's arms. Touch has always been Viola's weakness, and the full body-to-body contact Quinn has in mind is about to shatter her defenses and set her senses reeling.

I like the slight paranormal twist to these Victorian romances--some of the main characters have sensitivities to gemstones or metal--and I definitely didn't expect them to range so far outside of England. I wish there was a bit more integration of historical information in a way that didn't announc...
I had just returned a historical fiction novel, so my librarian recommended this book to me. I didn't know it was a romance novel, but I hav to say the characters and story were well developed.
Excellent romance set in Victorian England, with a heavy dose of information about colonial India. The hero and heroine are both extremely likable, and their love scenes are very steamy (the hero studied the Kama Sutra in India, so be prepared for some intense scenes). It took me about 50 pages to...
