Cobblestone Heart (Society Hearts: Book 1)

"I am not what you wanted. I will never be your Lady Kenna."

Pick-pocket, Beatrice Hugh had always wondered what her life would have been like, if she had not been left to die on a cobblestone path in the center of London. If she had never been taken to Miss Agatha's Home for Lost Girls. If she had never run away, only to live on the streets as a common thief. But, it had never stopped her from holding to her own, despite having no future, no hope, and only the knowledge that to the rest of the world, she was only a fallen girl, living in the sin that she surrounded herself in.

Nathaniel Thomas, the new Duke of Wrightwood, has moved to London for the season with one goal in mind. He wants to find the girl that he had been promised since he was a child. The only problem is, she has been missing for fourteen years and he is not even sure where to start in his search for the long lost Lady Kenna, daughter of the imprisoned Earl of Withermore. between his guilt and intrigue, he has decided that he must find out what happened to her, before it is too late for justice to be found.

So, when Nathaniel catches a young pickpocket trying to steal from him, he knows that this is an opportunity that he just can't refuse. In exchange for his silence, Beatrice Hugh must find him the information that he needs to put his whole search to rest.
