Stealing the Earl’s Heart

Aria Norton

Charlotte Attenborough has had more than her fair share of hardships. Scorned by the town’s people and forced to steal to provide for her family, she encounters yet another obstacle when her mother racks up a large gambling debt. Desperate, she sets out for London to steal a priceless necklace, only to be caught in the act. When her captor doesn’t hand her over to the authorities but proposes another harmless way to pay for her crime, she readily agrees. It all seemed straightforward until her feelings got in the way…

Francis, the Earl of Totnes, cannot believe the audacity of anyone attempting to steal from him, let alone a woman. He sets out to teach Charlotte a lesson, but instead, finds himself drawing closer to the intriguing woman. A big lie corners him into making Charlotte his temporary fiancée to save face- a foolproof plan by any means- until the tables are turned, and she steals his heart. Will Francis manage to trust Charlotte despite his hurtful past and fear?

Charlotte and Francis come from two greatly different worlds and meet under the most unfortunate circumstances. Their pasts haven’t been easy and over their joint future lies the shadow of a prejudiced society. Will they prove everyone wrong and defy their class differences by surrendering to their powerful feelings? Can their budding love truly overcome it all, or are they doomed to become victims of their hurdles?
