Forbidden desire and a deadly chase...

Darcy O'Keefe lives by her wits, picking pockets on the streets of Charlestown, Massachusetts, in order to survive. But when she chooses a well-heeled--and extremely handsome--gentleman as her next mark, her keen mind and quick reflexes fail her. Caught in the act, Darcy finds herself blackmailed into joining Aiden Terrell in a quest that has led him from the Caribbean to Great Britain and now to America.

Aiden's daring scheme is to set himself up as pickpocket bait to entrap a killer who murders for sport. As they comb the city's backstreets, Darcy can't decide which frightens her more--the prospect of finding the man they seek, or falling victim to the dangerous charms of Aiden himself....
