The Housebreaker's Assistant (The Zagreus Den Book 2)

In the murky, gaslit shadows of Victorian London, survival is an art form, and Percival Frey is a master of the craft. As a pickpocket with a reputation for sharp wits and an uncanny ability to navigate the city’s most dangerous corners, Percival has always operated best alone. But when a high-stakes job forces him into an uneasy alliance with Greer O’Toole, a legendary housebreaker with a gaze as piercing as his blade, Percival finds his carefully guarded independence slipping away. What begins as a reluctant partnership in the criminal underworld quickly ignites into a volatile, undeniable attraction. As they navigate the treacherous web of the Zagreus Den, the two men must rely on each other to outsmart their enemies and survive the direst of situations. The tension between them is as palpable as the suspense that dogs their every move, blending historical grit with a slow-burn romance that defies the rigid expectations of their era. This second installment in the series balances raw, emotional depth with pulse-pounding action. It is a story of trust earned in the dark, proving that even those who live by stealing can find something worth keeping forever.
