Deceit and Discipline: A Victorian Lady in Disguise Heist Novel
About this ebook
Dolly Hughes is a mistress of disguise. Educated to pose as a foreign princess, she has little trouble insinuating herself into English high society. Then, temporarily embarrassed by lack of funds, she finds herself inveigled into a caper different to her previous escapades.
She must pose as a mere snip of a maid to find a rare diamond.
Which makes her subject to the isolated manor's strange domestic discipline practices.
But the capricious and oft-scorching punishments she receives only increase her determination to make away with the gem.
Inspired by historical events, this heist novel set in the Victorian era focuses on the misdeeds and resulting punishments experienced by a spunky female anti-heroine involved in the commission of a gemstone heist. The reader may expect several extended scenes of corporal punishment and spanking for correction. In keeping with the norms of her era, Miss Hughes does not surrender her virtue, so please do not expect graphic scenes concerning how tab A fits into slot B.
Keywords: British historical, Victorian historical, Victorian crime, Victorian punishment, corporal punishment, caper, heist, jewel thief, gemstone thief, lady thief, lady con artist, Victorian female con artists, Victorian ladies in disguise.
