To set things right, she has to be very wrong...

Former constable Daniel Carlyle hasn't the foggiest notion how to be a viscount. No one is more shocked than he when his father's second cousin and his son die on the same day. When a prominent earl offers to guide Daniel through Society and the House of Lords, he's grateful to have a champion. Things seem to be falling into place when he meets a lovely young woman he intends to make his viscountess. Until he catches her stealing from his mentor.

The moment Jocelyn Renwick glimpses her family's stolen heirlooms in the possession of a wealthy earl, she demands their return. He dismissively insists they've been in his family for generations, and she privately vows to get them back at any cost. But the law–abiding Lord Carlyle foils her plans, and she reluctantly partners with him to solve the theft of her property. When they discover the earl is up to his ears in criminal acts, he threatens to link Daniel to his gang of thieves. Jocelyn must decide if justice for her family is worth risking a chance at love.
