Emily Larkin’s standalone novels include Thief with No Shadow (2007), The Earl’s Dilemma (2008), The Laurentine Spy (2009), My Lady Thief (2010), and Lady Isabella’s Ogre (2017). They span fantasy and historical romance.
Thief with No Shadow was Larkin’s debut and leans more toward fantasy than the Regency romances that followed. The Earl’s Dilemma and My Lady Thief are set firmly in the Regency period, while The Laurentine Spy adds espionage to the historical setting. Lady Isabella’s Ogre arrived after a seven-year gap and returned to Regency romance territory.
These five books sit outside Larkin’s ongoing series like the Baleful Godmother and Fey Quartet. Each one tells a complete story with no sequel required, making them good entry points for readers new to her work.
