The
Owl and the Pussycat
by
Dahlia Rose
Genre:
Historical Interracial Romance
They
never knew who she was though she hid in plain sight. Among the
people there was awe of her, and the way she managed to slip in to
steal valuables and leave without a trace. Woman were offended
because she wore tight men’s trousers and apparently the bounty on
her head wasn’t just for money but for lust. There was a bigger
reason, why stealing was necessary, the divide between the rich and
the poor was vast, and she intended to fix it by hook…. or by being
a crook. Now she heard the set ‘”The Owl’ on her trail. No
matter to her because she had the intelligence and skill to outwit
even their most willy investigator. She was Ella Covington, the
burglar called, “The Pussycat.’ She would not be caught.
There
was never a perfect crime just inept investigators and detectives who
cheated people out of hard-earned money. The Pussycat was just
another robber who would inevitably show their hand when over
confidence came into play. A female burglar intrigued him especially
when he uncovered her true identity. Now it was a cat and mouse game,
to tease himself and to tempt her. Like two dueling swords they
parried and each time it was simply delicious. Alas, there were
bigger players on the board, and he grew impatient for his prize The
growing attraction for the woman whose motivation eluded him had
overflowed. This was a frivolity that could catch her a hangman’s
noose. He would protect her and he wanted to make her his. He was,
Duke Richard Vance and “The Owl’ always caught his prey.
