Summary from Goodreads:
Scarlet’s true identity has been revealed, but her future is uncertain. Her forced marriage to Lord Gisbourne threatens Robin and Scarlet’s love, and as the royal court descends upon Nottingham for the appointment of a new Sheriff, the people of Nottingham hope that Prince John will appoint their beloved Robin Hood. But Prince John has different plans for Nottingham that revolve around a fateful secret from Scarlet’s past even she isn’t yet aware of. Forced to participate at court alongside her ruthless husband, Scarlet must bide her time and act the part of a noblewoman—a worthy sacrifice if it means helping Robin’s cause and a chance at a future with the man she loves. With a fresh line of intrigue and as much passion as ever, the next chapter in Scarlet’s tale will have readers talking once again.

"'A knife-wielding lady who cut off her own hair to fight a thief taker? There aren't many of you in the world, my lady.'"This book. THIS book. I liked Scarlet well enough but I LOVED Lady Thief. It was so much MORE in every way that matters:
More LOVE
Between Rob and Scar
Within the Band
From the people of Nottingham
More HATE
Towards Gisbourne
and Prince John
Between the people to the nobility
More LOYALTY
Scar for Rob and Rob for Scar
To the people
From Gisbourne to Scar
More ALLIES

Eleanor
Allan
More FOES
Prince John
de Clare
Isabel
More LOSS
In part
and in whole
More GAIN

In triumph
