Lord Lambeth is captivated by Marianne Cotterwood. He knows not only that she's off-limits, but that she's keeping secrets—and he's determined to unravel her mystery.

Alone in the world, Marianne wishes she could remember her life before the orphanage. The only family she has is a warmly eccentric bunch of pickpockets and thieves.

But someone else is interested in Marianne's secrets, too. A dangerous shadow from her past is closing in, and Lord Lambeth is the only man she can turn to . . .
