David Reece is robbed while traveling by coach to London. Vowing to reclaim a family signet ring, he sets a trap in London, and much to his surprise, the person caught trying to pawn the ring is one of his fellow travelers, the widowed Mrs. Gray. After locking the lovely thief up in his townhouse, David gradually learns her real identity. The last thing he would ever have predicted was falling in love with a beautiful pickpocket. A roguish hero trying to redeem his rakish ways meets his romantic match in a beautiful woman whose social class and past threaten any chance of a future together in Linden's latest elegantly written, lushly sensual Regency historical romance.
