Nathaniel, the new Baron Felston, awakes from a fever to
discover he’s a prisoner on his own estate. At first,
certain he’s gone insane, Nathaniel learns potent opiates
are the cause of his strange vision. But, barricaded in a
small room, he can’t outwit his mysterious jailer.
Determined to steal back one of her father’s swords,
Florrie Cadero gets more than she bargained for when she
breaks into the baron’s mansion. The dashing, drugged man
in the locked room soon sweeps her into his story—and his
bed. When she discovers they’re trapped together, she
devises a clever escape. Addicted to his captor’s drugs and
bent on revenge, Nathaniel seeks out the feisty thief who
freed him. Florrie, now a shopgirl, has foresworn her life
of adventure. But Nathaniel’s offer of employment intrigues
her. Together they must break his addiction and expose the
villain who would destroy his life.
