London's social season is in full swing, and Victorian
aristocracy can't stop whispering about a certain gentleman
who claims to be the direct descendant of Louis XVI and
Marie Antoinette. But he's not the only topic of wagging
tongues. Drawing rooms, boudoirs, and ballrooms are abuzz
with the latest news of an audacious cat burglar who has
been systematically stealing valuable items that once
belonged to the ill-fated queen.
Light gossip turns
serious when the owner of one of the pilfered treasures is
found murdered, and the mysterious thief develops a twisted
obsession with Lady Emily Ashton. It will take all of
Emily's wit and perseverance to unmask her stalker and
ferret out the murderer, while faced with a brewing scandal
that threatens both her reputation and her romance with her
late husband's best friend, the dashing Colin Hargreaves.
