The second book in The Thief series, The Queen of Attolia is also, IMO, the most romantic.

It starts with a bang, Eugenides of Edis, the thief who can steal anything, is caught spying on the queen of Attolia, the sworn enemy of his own queen. Attolia’s brutal punishment of her rival’s cousin sends Eugenides into a downward spiral of regret and self-loathing.

Yet, when his cunning and skills are the only thing that stands between victory and defeat, Eugenides once more must rise to the call and try to steal the most precious prize of all, the queen’s heart.

From Carmen's list on romantic fantasy with a strong female protagonist.

This second book in Turner’s Queen’s Thief series focuses on Irene, the Queen of Attolia. Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, stole a mythical relic from her kingdom. As she executes her revenge, she finds that he has, somehow, also stolen her heart. When Attolia falls prey to the grasping fingers of the Mede Empire, Irene has to decide if she can trust the Thief – and her own instincts. The story is intricate and engulfing, with deeply satisfying plot twists, and Irene is a complete badass.
