Not this time.
Faced with a door to his left and a door to his right, Grant was forced to make a decision. One door pointed at the street and the other at the alley. If he picked incorrectly, the thief would be gone and there’d be no telling when she would surface again. His gut told him to go left.
He went right.
The thief was perched on the windowsill when he slammed open the door. She glanced back at him over her shoulder, and her mouth curled in a sneer.
“You’re too late, Runner.”
She pushed herself quickly off the sill, but Grant was quicker. Throwing himself forward he managed to catch the hood of her cloak. He yanked. Hard. She fell backwards into him, and the force of their two bodies colliding sent them both sprawling onto the floor in a cloud of dust. Coughing, she tried to flip herself upright and make a run for the door, but he swept out his leg and struck her behind the knees.
He threw himself over her, thighs straddling her waist as he pinned her wrists together above her head in an iron grip. Hair the color of sunset flew in every direction as she tried to twist and buck, but try as she might she couldn’t throw him off.
Chest heaving with the force of her exertion, she glared up at him out of flashing green eyes and snapped her teeth, a fierce little wolf with her paw in a trap. Grant just grinned.
“Caught you.”
BOW STREET BRIDES
I thoroughly hope you have enjoyed the time you’ve spent with Felix and Felicity! Of all the books I’ve written, they are right up there as two of my favorite characters.

For an indie author like myself, every single review counts and I appreciate each one more than you can possibly know.
