Every woman plays a part—but some are more dangerous than
others…
Like most women, Elizabeth Miles assumes many roles;
unlike most, hers have made her a woman on the run.
Living on the edge of society, Elizabeth uses her guile
to relieve so-called respectable men of their ill-gotten
gains. But brutal and greedy entrepreneur Oscar Thornton
is out for blood. He’s lost a great deal of money and is
not going to forgive a woman for outwitting him. With his
thugs hot on her trail, Elizabeth seizes the moment to
blend in with a group of women who have an agenda of
their own.
She never expects to like or understand these privileged
women, but she soon comes to respect their intentions,
forming an unlikely bond with the wealthy matriarch of
the group whose son, Gideon, is the rarest of species—an
honest man in a dishonest world. Elizabeth knows she’s
playing a risky game, and her deception could be revealed
at any moment, possibly even by sharp-eyed Gideon. Nor
has she been forgotten by Thornton, who’s biding his
time, waiting to strike. Elizabeth must draw on her wits
and every last ounce of courage she possesses to keep her
new life from being cut short by this vicious shadow from
her past.
