Cat Sebastian returns to Georgian London with a stunning tale of a reluctant criminal and the thief who cannot help but love her. Marian Hayes, the Duchess of Clare, just shot her husband. Of course, the evil, murderous man deserved what was coming to him, but now she must flee to the countryside. Unfortunately, the only person she can ask for help is the charismatic criminal who is blackmailing her-and who she may have left tied up a few hours before. . . A highwayman, con artist, and all-around cheerful villain, Rob Brooks is no stranger to the wrong side of the law or the right side of anybody' s bed. He never meant to fall for the woman whose secrets he promised to keep for the low price of five hundred pounds, but how could he resist someone who led him on a merry chase all over London, left him tied up in a seedy inn, and then arrived covered in her husband' s blood and in desperate need of his helpAs they flee across the country-stopping to pick pockets, drink to excess, and rescue invalid cats-they discover more true joy and peace than either has felt in ages. But when the truth of Rob' s past catches up to him, they must decide if they are willing to reshape their lives in order to forge a future together.
"Their sexual tension is a living, breathing thing on the page, but merci-fully, Sebastian doesn' t leave them in want for long. And there' s plenty of sparkling dialogue to go with their physical connection. Kit has very clear opinions about the privilege Percy is fighting to protect, and their conver-sations about class and politics are uniformly excellent and fascinating. Kit Webb will surprise and delight not only fans of Sebastian and queer historical romance but also readers who are new to both. "--BookPage (starred review) The Queer Principles of Kit Webb is by turns witty, heartfelt, sexy, and deeply emotional. I devoured it and am clamoring for more. --Eva Leigh, author of My Fake Rake "Wielding a rapier-sharp wit and displaying an exceptional gift for insightful characterization, Sebastian fashions another fiercely romantic, fabulously sexy m/m love story that not only delivers a delicious surfeit of slow-burn sexual chemistry but also deftly illustrates the true complexity of all human relationships. "--Booklist "The Queer Principles of Kit Webb kept me up all night! I simply couldn' t put it down. --Tessa Dare, New York Times bestselling author "Sharp, smart, and oh-so-swoony, The Queer Principles of Kit Webb reminds me that Cat Sebastian is an author at the absolute top of her game. "--Rachel Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author Cat Sebastian is one of my favorite writers in romance or any other genre. The Queer Principles of Kit Webb, like all her other books, is intelligent, wryly funny, deeply thoughtful, empathetic, and romantic as can be. I absolutely loved it. --Olivia Dade, author of Spoiler Alert Sebastian' s prose is entertaining and delightful, with many steamy scenes. . . It' s also full of intelligent and thought-provoking political debates. . . An irresistible story of love and adventure that will delight both newcomers and regular readers of queer romance. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) With The Queer Principles of Kit Webb, Cat Sebastian' s newest, we get the full Georgian-era experience: coffeehouses, lace cuffs, noblemen in pastel silks and ballad-worthy highwaymen whose thieving days are almost, almost behind them. . . . Highwayman, it turns out, is a pitch-perfect role for a queer historical hero. If you' re already risking your neck to steal purses and harry the gentry, you' ll think nothing of risking your neck for someone you love. . . The book does not so much tear down class boundaries as dynamite the very idea of class itself, which is becoming a satisfying theme in Sebastian' s work. Laws that exist only to hurt people are unjust; systems that depend on people' s misery should be subverted and dismantled at every chance. The right to love and be loved as we are is a compass that always points toward justice. --New York Times Book Review
Cat Sebastian lives in a swampy part of the South with her husband, three kids, and two dogs. Before her kids were born, she practiced law and taught high school and college writing. When she isn' t reading or writing, she' s doing crossword puzzles, bird-watching, and wondering where she put her coffee cup.
