Devon

Society miss by day...daring thief by night

When Devon Mackinsey is saved from her life as a scullery maid by the titled grandmother she never knew, she blossoms into a spirited beauty, determined to save her ancestral home even if it means turning to crime as the notorious Shadow.

But when Hunter Barclay discovers the flame-haired vixen stealing his uncle's silver, they make a devil's bargain -- one kiss for silence about his secret: he's a spy for the colonists.

They part as Devon's destiny is cast to the wind in a dangerous and exciting adventure that takes her around the world and back -- ever a slave to passion and the man who has made her a prisoner of love.
