Natalie knows from her own family's experience of the devastation that can be caused by an unfaithful spouse, so she is determined not to fall for Jonathan's good looks and charming manner. However, she needs him to introduce her to a notorious spy-thief that he is acquainted with, so she persuades him to allow her to accompany him on a forthcoming trip to France. Jonathan knows she is not telling him everything about her motives, but it suits him to have her around, especially since he has been seriously considering the idea of marrying and settling down...and the two of them had shared a rather devastating romantic interlude in a garden five years ago. It piques him that she tries to hold herself aloof from him, although she responds fervishly to his passionate kisses. The surprising truth is that he wants more than passion from her...he yearns for her heart more than anything else.

In 1847 Natalie Haislett finds London totally boring, especially the obnoxious swains that seem to cling to her. Natalie wants romance and adventure, but knows she will find little of either among the Ton. She is infatuated with the notorious Black Knight, a jewel thief renowned for his daring throughout aristocratic Europe.
Natalie asks Jonathan Drake, a close friend of the Black Knight, to introduce her to her dream lover. However, after years of working as a secret agent for his government, a weary Jonathan just wants to settle down in a boring, English relationship with no surprises or adventure. When Natalie asks Jonathan to take her to France to meet the Black Knight, he shocks himself by agreeing. They cross the channel pretending to be a married couple. As they near their destination, Natalie and Jonathan fall in love. He knows he must persuade his beloved that a lifetime together will provide both of them with plenty of action.
Readers who enjoy a humorous Victorian romantic intrigue will relish STOLEN CHARMS. The story line is filled with tension as the couple battle with one another and with external forces. The lead protagonists are a darling duo and the support cast makes Victorian England and France feel as if a visit has occurred. However, what makes STOLEN CHARMS a delightful tale is Adele Ashworth's ability to portray the conflict inside Natalie. Society trained her to act in a certain proper way that wars with her inner soul. Her love for both The Black Knight and Jonathan further reveal her conflicting desires. After reading this tale, the audience will want to obtain Ms. Ashworth's previous book, MY DARLING CAROLINE.
