Nathaniel, the new Baron Felston, awakes from a fever to discover heβs a prisoner on his own estate. At first, certain heβs gone insane, Nathaniel learns potent opiates are the cause of his strange vision. But, barricaded in a small room, he canβt outwit his mysterious jailer.
Determined to steal back one of her fatherβs swords, Florrie Cadero gets more than she bargained for when she breaks into the baronβs mansion. The dashing, drugged man in the locked room soon sweeps her into his storyβand his bed. When she discovers theyβre trapped together, she devises a clever escape. Addicted to his captorβs 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 Nathanielβs offer of employment intrigues her. Together they must break his addiction and expose the villain who would destroy his life.
