Chloe Wynchester is completely forgettable—a curse that gives her the ability to blend into any crowd. When the only father she's ever known makes a dying wish for his adopted family of orphans to recover a missing painting, she's the first one her siblings turn to for stealing it back. No one expects that in doing so, she'll also abduct a handsome duke.
Lawrence Gosling, the Duke of Faircliffe, is tortured by his father's mistakes. To repair his estate's ruined reputation, he must wed a highborn heiress. Yet when he finds himself in a carriage being driven hell-for-leather down the cobblestone streets of London by a beautiful woman who refuses to heed his commands, he fears his heart is hers. But how can he sacrifice his family's legacy to follow true love?
The Duke Heist is the first book in the Wild Wynchesters series. Chloe is one of the infamous Wynchesters. A group of orphans who were adopted off of the streets by a very loving man. When he dies, they try to get back a painting that was stolen from them. THis puts Chloe directly in the path of their enemy, the Duke of Faircliffe.
I really enjoyed this one. It was a fun and sweet historical romance. Chloe and Lawrence were perfect for each other. Lawrence was looking so hard for a home and loving family. Chloe was waiting to finally be seen. Their chemistry was amazing and I loved watching them fall for each other. Lawrence did take a bit too long with the "I can't marry you , I need money" excuse. That was the only thing I didn't love. Along with the sweet romance, the best part of the book was Chloe's family. They were all wonderful characters, chosen family and fiercely loyal. I look forward to reading their stories later in the series. I definitely recommend this one.
