She's a thief…
Viscountess Gabrielle McCullough is desperate. Her late husband died, leaving her to pay off his enormous gambling debts. His creditors are growing impatient…and violent. In a bid to pay off one particularly vicious creditor, she attempts to steal a fabulous necklace at a Society ball. But she's not the only one after the jewels. Gabrielle used to long for the affections of the Earl of Sedgwick, but he's the last man she wants to see when trying to steal the necklace. Shockingly, he's stealing the necklace too—and he's a more accomplished thief than she. Frantic to reclaim the necklace, Gabrielle devises an elaborate plan to keep Ramsey at another ball while friends ransack his home. But at the ball she encounters a man she didn't believe was real—the Scarlet Pimpernel. And he has a mission for her, should she choose to accept it.
He's a traitor…
Ramsey, Earl of Sedgwick, has everyone fooled. He's been keeping a secret for years that could upend his entire life, not to mention send him to prison for the rest of his days. He's always cared about Lady Gabrielle, but he never felt a man like him deserved a woman like her. Unfortunately, he encounters her again on a ship to France. He is being blackmailed into discovering the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel. She is secretive about her reasons for travel, but as Ramsey and Gabrielle are thrown together more and more often and as the heat of their attraction grows, Ramsey begins to wonder if Gabrielle might be working for the Pimpernel. If so, is he willing to betray her and his deepening feelings for her for his own selfish reasons?
