The Duke Heist

A NYT bestselling author kicks off a new Regency series of "irresistible romance and a family of delightful scoundrels" as a woman looking to recover a stolen painting accidentally kidnaps a duke instead. (Eloisa James)

Chloe Wynchester is completely forgettable -- a curse that gives her the ability to blend into any crowd. When the only father she''s ever known makes a dying wish for his adopted family of orphans to recover a missing painting, she''s the first one her siblings turn to for stealing it back. No one expects that in doing so, she''ll also abduct a handsome duke.

Lawrence Gosling, the Duke of Faircliffe, is tortured by his father''s mistakes. To repair his estate''s ruined reputation, he must wed a highborn heiress. Yet when he finds himself in a carriage being driven hell-for-leather down the cobblestone streets of London by a beautiful woman who refuses to heed his commands, he fears his heart is hers. But how can he sacrifice his family''s legacy to follow true love?
