Title: Only a Viscount Will Do
Series: To Marry a Rogue
Author: Tamara Gill
Genre: Historical (Regency) Romance
Lady Alice Worthingham never conforms to Society’s norms. Ever. She loves adventure, new experiences, and approaches life with a sassy attitude Society can take or leave. But even for her, robbery by a highwayman is a bit much.
Lord Arndel, Lady Alice’s neighbor, is playing a dangerous game—acting the proper viscount by day and the Surrey Bandit by night. And to brazenly steal from the woman who’s captured his attention is no mean feat, or the wisest of moves.
When Lady Alice learns the truth, the viscount finds that when a well-bred woman seeks revenge, she’ll make a gentleman thief pay for his crimes with everything…including his heart.

She pulled back and stepped out of his arms altogether. Callum let her go with regret and consoled himself with the fact that her eyes looked heavy with desire and, if he wasn’t incorrect, a little awe. “I shouldn’t have done that.” “Why not?” He shrugged, the action in some way releasing his taut muscles. “You’re not worried about your reputation, are you? I thought you were a highwaywoman and nothing else.” “I am, but I’m also a woman who should not have done that.” “Are you a woman of rank?” Callum watched are her eyes darkened in warning. He smirked. “Preferably, I would like you to come back here and do it again.” Her mouth opened on a gasp, and he strode up to her, clasped her face, and kissed her hard, quick, and deep, before pulling back and bowing. “I hope we see each other again.” Alice nodded and walking over to her horse in what looked like a daze, mounted quickly, and joined her sister. “I’m sure we will, Lord Arndel, and sooner than you’d like, if you continue this type of thieving lifestyle. Do I make myself clear?” “Very,” he said, watching as the women turned their mounts and cantered down the road before turning into the trees. Callum swore, running a hand through his hair. For all his teasing of the little minx, she’d still run off with his portable blunt and now he would have to send word to London and notify those his deceased cousin owed money to, that the debt would not be paid. Not with the jewels that had been required, at least. Damn it!
Callum Edwards inherited the title of a spendthrift cousin... and his debts.
Because of this, and in order to save his daughter Amelia, Callum had to undergo a blackmail from a moneylender, and in the next few months he would have to steal several jewels from people of society until he paid off all of his cousin Robert's debt.
Without having the money to pay, Callum obeyed. And soon he became known as the Surrey Bandit.
The last item on the list to be stolen was the famous brooch of Dowager Duchess of Penworth. And at this meeting, Callum and Alice Worthingham come face-to-face.
Alice's family was neighbor of the Viscount Arndel, and although she found him the most handsome man she had ever met, he did not seem to be charmed by her last season. In fact, he looked at her like she had pox!! So she decided that although he and she were meeting quite a bit, because Callum was selling part of his land to the new Duke, Alice's brother, she would rather marry someone away from Surrey.
But the big question was, would Callum this time let Alice be courted by other men?
It was certain that he was poor and could not woo a duke's daughter/sister, but the feeling he had for her was greater than reason, and soon Callum found himself doing craziness to be able to have Alice.
However clever as it was, since the Worthingham sisters were raised quite differently from the other ladies in society, Alice discovers Callum's secret... and now, she would have to choose between handing him over to the police to be hanged or hear her heart...
