An impossible heist. A thief and a rogue. But will she steal his heart, instead?
The Company of Rogues finally knows the identity of the mastermind behind a plot against the queen—but their enemy is still one step ahead of them. When he kidnaps one of theirs, the Rogues plan a daring rescue mission that will lead them into the heart of the bloodthirsty Crimson Court.
It’s a job for a master thief, and there’s nothing Charlie Todd likes more than a challenge. To pull off the impossible, Charlie needs a crew, including the only thief who’s ever been able to outfox him.
He broke her heart. But now she must risk it all to save his life…
Lark’s spent years trying to forget her past, but the one thing she can’t ignore is the way a single smile from Charlie still sets her heart on fire. When he proposes they work together again, it feels just like old times, but she has one rule: this is strictly business.
It’s Charlie’s last chance to prove he can be trusted with her heart. But Lark’s keeping a deadly secret. And as passions are stirred and the stakes mount, it might be the kind of secret that could destroy them all…

REVIEW
4/5
The Duke of Malloryn is captured by Balfour. His company of rogues set up a team to find him. The problem is that most of them are known. So they have Charlie set up a extraction team of unknowns to help. The one person he knows he needs is Lark. The problem is that she is not very happy with him. But more than that she promised she would never go back to Russia again. She knows she has to break that, because she cant let Charlie go their with her.
The story is good. Like pirates. All of the characters are given great stories. The author works hard to give each character introduced a back story and personality. I liked Lark and Charlie. I enjoyed the pace that back story was revealed. You didnt have to spend much time guessing why on most things. In some parts though the backstory parts caused the story to seem a little disjointed. And some scenes were just not needed and felt like filler to make it a certain length.
But it was a great story and different from alot that I have read.
