Book ID/图书代码： 06830005B12424
English Summary/英文概要： Dubbed the Smoke thief, a daring jewel thief is confounding the london police. His wealthy victimes claim the master burglar thin air. But Christoff, the charismatic Marquess of Langford, knows the truth:the thief is no ordinary human but a "runner"who’s fled darkfrith without permission. As Alpha leader of the drakon, it’s Kit’s duty to capture the fugitive before the secrets of the tribe are revealed to mortals. But not even Kit suspects that the Smoke Thief could be a woman.
Clarissa Rue Hawthorne knew her dangerous exploits would attract the attention of the drakon. But she didn’t expect Christoff himself to come to London, dangling the tribe’s most valuable jewel-the Langford Diamond-as bait. For as long as she could remember, Rue had lived the life of a halfling-half drakon, half mortal-and an outcast in both worlds. She’d always loved the handsome and willful Kit from the only place it was safe:from afar.But now she was no longer the shy, timid girl she’d once been.
she was the first woman capable of making the Turn in four generations. So why did she still feel the same dizzying sense of vulnerability whenever he was near?
From the moment he saw her, Kit knew that the alluring and powerful beauty was every bit his Alpha equal and destined to be his bride. And by the harsh laws of the drakon, Rue knew that she was the property of the marquess. But they will risk banishment and worse for a chance at something greater. For now Rue is his prisoner, the diamond has disappeared, and she’s made the kind of dangerous proposition a man like Kit cannot resist...
In this bewitching novel, Shana Abe transports us into a world of exhilarating romance and magic.

被稱為煙賊，一個大膽的珠寶大盜混跡於倫敦員警中。他有錢的受害者聲稱主犯可以穿越牆壁和消失於無形。但Christoff，蘭福德市充滿魅力的 Marquess知道真相: 小偷是不普通的人類，而是未經允許逃離了 Darkfrith的“落跑者”。身為德庫拉Alpha族人的頭目，在這個秘密被的凡人揭穿前，Kit的首要任務就是捕獲這名逃犯。但是，即使是Kit也有可能被懷疑成是一位煙賊女嫌疑犯。

About the Author/作者介绍： 莎納•亞伯生於德克薩斯州。在科羅拉多州渡過了自己的童年時光，曾作為一個外國交換生，在墨西哥有過短暫的逗留，十七歲時，在日本從事模特生涯。幼年時期，亞伯就開始著手寫作，在當拍攝模的空閒時間裏，完成了被她稱之為“有史以來最愚蠢的浪漫小說”的創作。她的寫作風格主要側重於浪漫題材，而這些也是她最為喜歡閱讀的小說。她隨後在洛杉磯上了大學，拿到了戲劇學位。
她的第二部小說，同樣也是當代浪漫類型，並在一個寫作比賽中位列第三名。於是她把自己的作品寄給了幾家可能具有市場前瞻性的代理社，這些代理商多數回覆她的問題大多為“看上去不錯 — 不過你的作品的主線是什麼呢？”在這些建議下，亞伯不得對原先的寫作套路進行修改，她最終覺得集中精力於歷史浪漫愛情題材。為了嘗試此類題材，新婚不久的亞伯選擇把自己醞釀的浪漫中世紀愛情故事告訴丈夫。這份名為《 A Rose in Winter》手稿被Bantam出版社購買出版。
亞伯的許多小說背景都設置於中世紀時期。她之所以選擇這一時期是因為那是一段“光明與黑暗的分水嶺時期…中世紀時期的皇家的宏偉，威嚴和騎士精神都給她的創作帶來了無窮的創作靈感 — 但也不得不承認，那也是人類歷史上最為黑暗的一段時期。”
亞伯獲得了《浪漫時代雜誌》的職業成就獎，她還六次被提名為《浪漫時代雜誌》評審獎，兩次獲勝。
Shana Abé is the award-winning author of nine novels, including The Smoke Thief. She lives in the Denver area with four surly pet house rabbits, all rescued, and a big goofy dog. Please, please support your local animal shelter, and spay or neuter your pets.
