"An entertaining Regency romance"

In 1811 shy Catherine Miller cannot believe her odious cousins want to displace her and others to sell her home as they need money. She has no plan at first but knows she must act assertive or else. However, a concept surfaces when she finds the diary of the Thief of Robinson Square. She will be a reincarnation of the thief robbing from the affluent to save the orphanage she calls home.

Major Marcus Dunn has just arrived in England after spending time in Spain. He is on a critical key mission, but realizes the reticent Catherine that he met years ago when she was a child is masquerading as the Thief. Already attracted to her, he admires her spirit, but ponders whether to expose her for her safety. However revealing who she is could destroy his mission by revealing who he truly is.

MORE THAN A SCANDAL is an entertaining Regency romance starring two delightful protagonists, several fine supportive characters and the heroine's dislikable cousins. Catherine is the center of the fun story line as she willingly risks all to save the orphanage from her avaricious relatives yet her solution is a dandy. Marcus is her perfect foible as he fears for her safety, wants to kiss her all over, and must hide his real reason for being home. Sari Robins provides a fine historical.

Summary

Lovely Catherine Miller has always been timid—until the treachery of unscrupulous cousins threatens her childhood home. But her discovery of the journal of the notorious "Thief of Robinson Square" has given the resourceful lady a plan. To exact a righteous vengeance, she will don the mantle of this "Robin Hood" who, years ago, preyed on pompous Society. She doesn't realize, however, that the one man in London who has sworn to stop her is the man she has loved in secret since she was twelve!

An important mission to unmask a traitor has brought Major Marcus Dunn back to Catherine Miller, only to find that the shy, awkward girl he remembers is now an enticing young woman with a spirit as strong as his. But the tempting enchantress guards a secret, and Marcus fears his desire for her could expose his own—and send them both careening recklessly toward a passionate love far more perilous than mere scandal.
