A beautiful thief has stolen the heart
of the one man in London whose
secrets are as dangerous as her own . . .
Shrewd and wily, pickpocket Temperance Smith
needs no man's favor to survive on London's
unforgiving streets-even when she's caught red-handed
by an officer of the hated dragoons.
On leave from India to find a proper bride
in London, Captain Miles Trevelyan is easy prey for a
seasoned pickpocket like Temperance. But when
the dazzling thief steals first his wallet, then his heart,
his pursuit throws them into a deadly world of
treason and betrayal that will force them to question
everything they know about love, loyalty,
and desire. For there can be no middle ground for
these two stormy-tempered Scorpios entangled
in the star-crossed romance that threatens
to destroy them both . . .
