Book description
The daughter of a reformed jewel thief, Julianna Harte knows a thing
or two about stealth. When the foundling home she provides for finds
itself in dire financial straits, Julianna is forced to do the
unthinkable. In a bit of misguided Robin Hood derring-do, she slips
through the window of a wealthy rake to search for a treasure she
knows is there: an invaluable pearl. But when the towering and very
naked occupant of the moonlit bedroom ambushes her with a bargain-a
night in his bed in exchange for the pearl-Julianna doesn't know if
it's masculine heat or sheer desperation that makes his terms so tempting.
Alasdair Sharpe had no intention of keeping his end of the bargain.
Planning to offer his little cat burglar carte blanche instead, he
promptly loses himself in the delights of unexpected pleasure. But
when he awakes the next morning to find his family heirloom gone, fury
quickly replaces sensual languor. Of course, Alasdair is more than
willing to use seduction to reclaim his stolen pearl-and find the key
to Julianna's heart.
