She lives by her wits; he plays by the rules. Together, they'll learn that sometimes taking risks brings the greatest rewards.

Eliza Summersby has learned the hard way how to survive the dangerous streets of London. With nimble fingers and a sharp wit, she's managed to stay one step ahead of the law—until she's caught red-handed by a Piccadilly toff

Desperate, she leaps into the nearest carriage to escape...only to find herself face-to-face with the last person she ever expected: Sir Mark van Bergen, the youngest and most ambitious director at the Bank of England.

Mark is no stranger to taking risks, but harboring a petty thief in his carriage is a gamble even he's not prepared for. Will he prove to be Eliza's refuge or a one-way trip to Scotland Yard?

Caught between desire and duty, trust and betrayal, Eliza and Mark must decide if they can overcome their worlds—and their fears—to forge a future together. But in a city loyalty is hard-won and danger is always one step away, will love be their greatest risk or their sweetest reward?
