When not cuddling inn signs in her beloved Scottish mountains alongside Mr Shey, Shehanne Moore writes dark and smexy historical romance, featuring bad boys who need a bad girl to sort them out. She firmly believes everyone deserves a little love, forgiveness and a second chance in life.

A woman not even the ghost of Sapphire can haunt. A man who knows exactly who she is. 

Only one man in England can identify her. Unfortunately he’s living next door. 

Ten years ago sixteen year old Sapphire, the greatest jewel thief England has ever known, ruined Lord Devorlane Hawley’s life by planting a stolen necklace on him.  Now she’s dead and buried, all Cassidy Armstrong wants is the chance to prove she was never that girl. 

But her new neighbor is hell-bent on revenge and his word can bring her down. So when he asks her to be his mistress, or leave the county with a price on her head, Sapphire, who hates being owned, must decide...  

What’s left for a woman with nowhere else to go, but to stay exactly where she is?

And hope, that when it comes to neighbors Devorlane Hawley won’t prove to be the one from hell. 


London Jewel Thieves

Having undone the rusty catch, Cass tried easing the window upward. It wouldn't budge much more than a fraction. Certainly not without screeching and alerting half the household. Had she not needed fresh, cooling air, she wouldn't have bothered. She wiped her hands down her robe, then tried again, managing to push the window as far as it would go.


"I'm sorry." Devorlane Hawley's voice drawled from the bed, sending a shockwave up her spine. Another to match the several that had rocked it already.


She stiffened, fighting what rose in her as she stared upward at the catch. Oh God, did she need to hear him making whining excuses? No, because then she might forgive him, and she'd no desire to forgive him. Not for what he'd done, not for what he'd said. Not for damn well hanging about in her bed when what her whole self, every jangled bit of her, demanded, was him to damn well clear off and leave her alone, either.
