Naval Captain Hugh McAlden is accustomed to taking on
deadly, high-stakes assignments--and being rewarded
handsomely for his success at them. But to accomplish his
latest mission, he'll need someone more inconspicuous among
his own ranks. Someone like the larcenous beauty who just
relieved him of his pocket watch under his very nose. . .
Meggs Tanner's livelihood--as one of London's stealthiest
thieves--depends on her remaining un-tethered and unnoticed.
But when she is caught by an icy-eyed Scottish officer with
an unusual proposition, she sees a chance to escape her life
of crime forever. Ever wary, she accepts the job even as she
plots her exit strategy, ready to cut and run at a moment's
notice.
But as Meggs and Hugh come nearer to the danger of their
shared mission, thoughts of betrayal and distrust begin to
dissolve. . .overshadowed by a passion worth any risk. . .
