HAS ENGLAND'S INFAMOUS BRIDE THIEF FINALLY MET HIS MATCH? Samantha Briggeham is far more interested in science than marriage, and is horrified when her well-meaning but ill-advised parents announce their plan for her to marry. Sammie has no intention of being betrothed--especially to a man she does not love. Her clever plan to unbetroth herself goes perfectly--until she is swept into a pair of powerful arms and spirited away by a masked rider. News of Sammie's heroic rescue by the Bride Thief turns her into the toast of the ton, wooed by suitors far and wide. But she can't forget the swashbuckling, mysterious brigand who abducted her. Then she meets Eric Landsdowne, the dashing and seductive Earl of Wesley… His exploits are legendary, his life filled with danger, the hangman’s noose a constant and growing threat. With his true identity a scrupulously guarded secret, the elusive Bride Thief helps women escape the unhappy fate of forced, arranged marriages. But when he mistakenly rescues the newly unbetrothed Sammie, Eric finds himself battling feelings he believed long buried. Marriage is out of the question, which leaves only one option: A clandestine affair that can lead to scandal, social ruin, and the unmasking and ultimate death of England’s Notorious Bride Thief. "A passionate tale peopled with appealing characters, D'Alessandro's newest Regency-era romance is fresh, funny and loaded with charm"--Publishers Weekly "Jacquie D'Alessandro writes romance at its enchanting best!"--New York Times Best Selling author Teresa Medeiros "Full of charm and love and laughter...a delightful read."--Affaire de Coeur Dear Reader, The Bride Thief was originally published in 2002. I am delighted to be able to make this classic Regency-era historical romance available again to readers who missed it the first time around. The story sprang from a tiny seed of an idea that took root in my mind after watching the movie The Mask of Zorro. I immediately knew I had to write a masked hero, and soon after The Bride Thief was born. I hope you enjoy Samantha and Eric’s love story as much as I enjoyed writing it. I wish you much good health, happiness, and of course, romance. Best regards, Jacquie D'Alessandro

Jacquie D'Alessandro
Jacquie D’Alessandro se criou em Long Island (Estados Unidos). Educou-se em um ambiente familiar, no que seus pais alimentaram nela sua paixão pela leitura. Sua irmã também lhe emprestava seus livros do Nancy Drew. Mais tarde, adquiriu certa predileção pelas novelas de corte sentimental e aventuras. Depois de graduar-se casou com o Joe, e o matrimônio que teve um filho, Christopher, aliás, "Júnior", com quem residem junto a seu gato em Atlanta, estado da Georgia. A princípios dos 90, o casal adquiriu um computador, por isso se animou a escrever todas as histórias que passavam por sua mente, e logicamente se decantou pelo gênero romântico. Conseguiu publicar seu primeiro livro em 1999. Escreve tanto novelas situadas na Regência como contos atuais para Harlequin. Proprietária de um estilo elegante, não isento de certo toque humorístico, e com um hábil domínio da técnica narrativa, Jacquie é uma das autoras mais sobressalentes do gênero.
