Scoundrels, thieves, and rebels inhabit the rookeries--where dangerous men fall in love with fierce women.
WHEN AN UNDERWORLD PRINCESS...
Beautiful, innocent Mina Mason has led a sheltered life as the sister to the most notorious crime lord in England. Her family's wealth and expectations keep her in a gilded cage, never able to act on her true desires. Like kissing--and engaging in far more scandalous behavior with--Charlie Thatcher, her childhood best friend. As a member of a rival gang, Charlie is distinctly off-limits.
FALLS FOR THE WRONG MAN...
Charlie Thatcher has known since he was a boy where his loyalties should lie: with the Chapman Street Thieves, who saved him from a brutal death in the dark alleys of the Ratcliffe rookery. As a bartender for the Three Boars public house, he protects his fellow brothers with his mind and his fists. But when one of those members threatens Mina's safety, Charlie's primal, protective instincts are triggered--and his defense of her puts them both in danger.
PASSION MAY BE THEIR DOWNFALL.

Note: Stealing the Rogue's Heart is a dark, gritty, and steamy (on-page sex scenes) romantic suspense set in pre-Victorian England. West Side Story meets working-class London. While it is the conclusion to the Rookery Rogues series, it can be read as a stand-alone historical romance.
Christy Carlyle, USA Today Bestselling Author wrote:The loyalties are fierce, the violence is not sugar-coated and Ms. Monroe's descriptive prose really puts the reader slap-bang in the middle of the muddy streets and dank alleyways of the East End of London or sits them at the bar in the crowded, smoke-filled, gin-scented pub...the perfect introduction to the seamier, darker side of pre-Victorian London and this author's world of ordinary men and women doing what they must to keep body and soul together.
Elyse on Smart Bitches, Trashy Books wrote:Erica Monroe has a way of cutting straight to the emotional heart of a story and Stealing the Rogue's Heart is no exception. Her characters, full of fire and grit, and evocative rookeries setting grabbed me from the first page and wouldn't let go.
Jennifer Hayes on Jenerated Reviews wrote:This particular installment is a forbidden love romance, which is totally my catnip...If you like gritty historicals or the words “underworld romance” make you giddy, then you should totally check this book out.
Kelly Snyder on Sassy Book Lover wrote:The connection between Mina and Charlie was gentle and tender in a merciless environment displayed in a setting not typical of romance novels yet this was an epic love story. This action driven work moved at a quick clip accompanied by memorable exchanges. Ms. Monroe may not only have stolen a rogue's heart but her audience's with Stealing the Rogue's Heart.
I’ve waited for this one and it didn’t disappoint! Just when you think there isn’t more to learn about the rookeries and the gangs Erica Monroe has more for us. This is a novella, but it is packed with suspense and romance. It almost has a Romeo and Juliet feel because they are from rival gangs, different backgrounds, lifestyles, but love keeps them together. I loved how I never expected the fights, the rescue, or what her brothers would do.
