The Shadow — Shelley Munro

Occupations often run in families, and mine is no exception. Im Lady Katherine Fawkner, cat burglar in training. Under duress, I might add, but someone has to keep the family safe. Fathers gambling has escalated into debts, and with that debt comes outrageous interest charges and goons threatening bodily harm if overdue money isnt paid. So, here I am, attending a society ball, researching the rich and their jewels for my first heist.Wouldnt you know it? Im looking for rubies and find a man instead. Not just any man, but a cop. A cat burglar and a cop? No future there. But I cant stop thinking about Inspector Kahu Williams.To make matters worse, now theres been a murder. And if thats not bad enough, my past has returned to haunt me. Ive stumbled across a photo of a child who is the mirror image of my precious daughter. In my hands I hold a clue to reveal the identity of my childs fatherthe man who drugged me six years ago. So Im hot on the trail of my revenge for date rape while Inspector Williams searches for a killer. But we keep running into each other andno, this is not going to work
