No Honour Among Thieves part one

London 1816
East Ender, Flash Billy, is a gutter rat who has fought his way up to crime lord by the power of his own mettle, a villainous reprobate to whom violence and trickery are second nature. When he is pickpocketed by a brassy orange seller with a fierce temper and light fingers, his interest is immediately snared.

After unwittingly using her skills on the wrong man, Meg Turner finds that relying solely on herself for survival, might no longer be her choice.

Marine Police Inspector, Freddy Scriven is on the hunt and closing in on his prey. He plans to hang the scurrilous Billy, but can he resist the lure of a fiery thieving vixen?
