To Catch a Magic Thief

Falsely accused of being the notorious Magic Thief, the non-magic Marcel Ellsworth, Baron of Carrington, wants nothing more than to stay away from enchanters and sorcerers. Unfortunately, he soon discovers his mentor, the Duke of Henly, is head of a family of proud enchanters-and that they're the next target of the Magic Thief, a servant of the sorcerers. With the threat of another accusation hanging over him, Marcel sets out to prove his innocence, especially to the duke's beautiful daughter Gabriella, and to stop the Thief once and for all. But Gabriella is hiding a deadly secret that complicates Marcel's mission, and raises its stakes. For one thing is certain: the Magic Thief has come for more than magical treasures-he's come for Gabriella.A spunky heroine, an unlikely hero, a cunning thief, and a race against a terrifying curse--everything a reader could want in a fantasy adventure!
