Thief-Book 2 in the Brides of Alba
Linda Windsor
Exiled in shame and wounded in battle, Caden O’Byrne accepts a mission of penance—to search for his healer’s long-lost daughter. At worst, he’ll finally get his death wish. At best, this could be God’s second chance. But the lovely minstrel Sorcha wants no part in him, his newfound God, or the rescue. In fact, she’s robbed him blind—to help finance her work of buying young captives and returning them to their families. She’s also gone into debt and promised to marry a man she doesn’t love—all for the chidlren’s sake. But before she and Caden can sort out the situation, a treacherous murder forces them to run for their lives…together. While Caden’s rekindled faith is tested, Sorcha wonders if his God is real. If so, can a thief like her dare hope for His mercy? And do the two of them have a chance of reaching home—Sorcha’s real home—alive?

Thief is an incredibly well-written piece of historical fiction. The story begins with a banished mercenary named Caden and a minstrel and thief named Sorcha. Through an unlikely twist of fate the two meet and Caden offers a way out of a proposal Sorcha has been forced to accept. They escape together, but Sorcha soon learns that there is way more to Cadens past than she could have ever imagined, and that he might know more about her that she would like. As their pasts catch up with them, they must decide if they will ever be able to trust, or love, each other.
