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, Chevalier de Lesgardes, 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 thief robs him, taking even his horse. Penniless, Gabriel must turn to the enigmatic spymaster Sir Alan 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 in London society for an old enemy, she again crosses paths with Gabriel. 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. (from the back cover)
