Step Into Darkness
2006
At the height of the French Revolution, a viscount's daughter enlists the help of a man who turns out to be a perilous threat to her family... Sarah Leaford is desperate to rescue her father from the dungeons of Paris, and it seems that her success depends on one man: Gentleman Jack, the greatest thief in all of London. What she doesn't know is that Jack is already well acquainted with her father. Years ago, Lord Carleigh framed Jack for murder, leaving him a ruined man destined for the gallows. Now Jack has a chance for revenge—but to take it, he must resist falling for the beautiful noblewoman and her mysterious, untamed magic. Drawn together by a dangerous mission, they must not surrender to the passion that flares between them. Sarah and Jack are not simply a maiden and a thief, and more lives than theirs are in peril. So much is at risk that even the dead take notice.

Draw Down the Darkness
2007
In eighteenth-century London, England's most talented spy risks his honor—and his life—to rescue the one woman who could heal his heart... In order to save his family from ruin, Nicholas Saville, Viscount Redfern, secretly pledges his sword to King George's spymaster, Sir Alaric. Espionage suits him well, except that his duties take him far away from England and his betrothed. Heartbroken by her beloved's long and unexplained absences, Helen Barrett breaks off their engagement. Soon she is courted by a powerful earl, a man well versed in both magic and treason. He inspires Helen's utmost distrust until he gives her a stunning sapphire necklace—a gift that traps her under his dark spell. Redfern's mission is to stop the murderous Hellfire League, but he will risk that and more to save—and win back—the woman he adores.

Theft of Shadows
2008
Lovers and enemies look the same in the dark... Former spy Gabriel d'Aubrigny, the Chevalier de Lesgardes, returns to England with a purse of gold and plans to start a new life—until a highwayman robs him, taking even his horse. Penniless, Gabriel must turn to the enigmatic spymaster, Sir Alaric Fitzwilliam, for work. His mission: to pose as a courtier and unmask a man suspected of using dark magic against the Throne... After stealing from a handsome traveler, Anne Tremaine uses her new fortune to pose as a wealthy widow. While hunting in London society for an old enemy, she meets Gabriel once more. Every encounter with the Frenchman is a dangerous game, for his touch ignites desire—but one slip might send her from his embrace to the gallows...
