From the author of An Affair with Mr. Kennedy and A Dangerous Liaison with Detective Lewis comes a sexy new romantic caper in the Gentlemen of Scotland Yard series. She was everything he remembered, only more so. Cunning, reclusive Yard man Phineas Gunn is as skilled at capturing surly criminals as he is at charming beautiful women. But the dashing agent’s latest assignment is really testing his mettle. Officially, he’s investigating beguiling prima ballerina Catriona de Dovia Willoughby, a suspected anarchist. Unofficially, his attraction to his devilish former flame is hotter than ever. Unsure whether to trust the enigmatic lover who betrayed her once, Cate nevertheless enlists Finn’s help to recover some priceless family jewels. Their pursuit erupts into a cross-continental adventure that begins with a double cross and crackles with secrets, lies, and sexual tension. The crime is clear—breaking and entering each other’s hearts—but as the clock ticks down, who will be the first to surrender?

For years, the memory of a deadly bombing at King's Cross has haunted brilliant Scotland Yard detective Zeno "Zak" Kennedy. In London, 1887, his investigation zeroes in on a ring of aristocratic rebels campaigning for Irish revolution, and pulls him into the arms of free-spirited Cassandra St. Cloud, an impressionist painter with very modern ideas about life and love.
