"To Steal A Heart" by Jen Turano is set in 1886 New York City and combines history, humor, and a bit of romance all in one delightful easy to read Inspirational fiction book.
The book follows Miss Gabriella Goodhue, a young woman who grew up as a thief on the streets of New York. The deceitful skills she developed while living on the streets lead to her being chosen to sneak into a high-society costume ball disguised as a gentleman dandy in order to help solve a crime.
Over the course of her investigation, Gabriella runs into a childhood friend, Mr. Nicholas Quinn, who abandoned her when she was apprehended off the streets at age twelve.

As the two of them work through one intrigue after another, you will laugh out loud at the mishaps that occur and the chaos that ensues. Gabriella and Nicholas must test their newfound feelings for each other as they work through each dangerous case.
Finishing this book left me with a satisfied and uplifted feeling. I would recommend it to all who want to read a clean and fun novel.
