Lovers and enemies look the same in the dark

England 1799: A lady thief robs a spy–and from that moment on, the price of love is highway robbery...

Former spy Gabriel d’Aubrigny returns to England with a purse of gold and plans to start a new life. His luck vanishes like mist on the heath when a highway robber takes even his horse. Penniless, Gabriel must turn to the enigmatic spymaster, Sir Alaric Fitzwilliam, for work. His mission: to pose as a courtier and unmask a man suspected of using dark magic against the Throne...

After stealing from a handsome traveler, Anne Tremaine uses her new fortune to pose as a wealthy widow. While hunting London society for an old enemy, she meets Gabriel once more. Every encounter with the Frenchman is a dangerous game, for his touch ignites desire—but one slip might send her from his embrace to the gallows. Then again, she would wager her stolen jewels that Gabriel is not as he appears...
