A fan-favorite from New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp, originally published in 2000.

Lord Lambeth is captivated by Marianne Cotterwood. He knows she’s not only off-limits, but she’s keeping secrets, and he’s determined to unravel her mystery.

Alone in the world, Marianne wishes she could remember her life before the orphanage. The only family she has is a warmly eccentric bunch of pickpockets and thieves. Marianne’s inborn grace makes her a natural at mingling among the wealthy while looking for valuables, but then Lord Lambeth catches her in the act.

But someone else is interested in Marianne’s secrets, too. A dangerous shadow from her past is closing in, and Lord Lambeth is the only man she can turn to…

Promise Me Tomorrow is book two in The Lost Heirs series by Candace Camp. I really enjoyed this book. This is definitely not a stand-alone story, but this series is so worth reading. There were some hilarious moments with Marianne’s “family”. And the character of Marianne has some witty times too. I liked the hero Lord Justin Lambeth – he’s not your typical Regency gentleman. “He was watching her, and when she noticed him, he did not glance away embarrassed, as most would have. He continued to gaze at her steadily in a way that was most rude. He was tall and lean, with the broad shoulders and muscled thighs of a man who had spent much of his life on horseback. His hair, cut rather short and slightly tousled, was light brown, streaked golden here and there by the sun. His eyes, too. Were gold, and hooded, reminding her of a hawk…The man’s gaze unsettled her.”

There are some steamy scenes in this book. Overall another slam dunk for Ms. Camp. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
