Synopsis: "When a thief meets a duke, jewels should be at risk. Not hearts. Nalya enjoys the freedom of her uncomplicated life. Her skills as a pickpocket help the people who took her off the streets. It's not like her marks need all that money. Then a single mistake makes her question everything she thought she knew. The Duke of Delgorad is a man of wealth and power. Even other lords are envious of Vasha, but he has a smile for everyone and the desire to improve the fortunes of others. When he catches Nalya trying to pick his pocket, he isn't mad. He's intrigued. Vasha might be able to ignore theft, but when he discovers Nalya is part of a group threatening the stability of the entire empire, he knows he can't let his heart overrule his mind. She only wanted to enjoy a night with the duke before their lives diverged once more. She didn't count on the duke stealing her heart." (Source: Amazon.com on 2024-03-06)
