Alloa never meant to fall for a thief - especially one as dangerously charming as Dix. She caught him once, poised to steal a priceless miniature from a wealthy heiress's bedroom. But she could not forget him even after he had vanished from her life as swiftly as he had stolen her heart - was he merely a thief, or something far worse?

When Alloa's work takes her to Europe, fate intervenes, and she finds herself face-to-face with Dix once more. But this time, their reunion comes with peril. Dix is entangled in crime, and getting close to him could cost her everything - including her life.

As danger closes in and a knife finds her throat, Alloa must confront the truth about the man she thought she could save - will she walk away, or trust the man she never stopped loving? All is revealed in this tale of passion, deception and courage, where love is tested against all the odds.
