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