Rhosyn knows a thing or two about theft, but she may have met her match.

When a mysterious figure called the Hood, a thief in disguise, starts stealing from prominent socialites, Royal Police officer Rhosyn itches to catch him. His uncanny ability to slip through her fingers presents an irresistible challenge, and she can't help but obsess over who hides beneath the mask. Unfortunately, her hands are already full with the meteoric rise of a new gang called the Foxes, as well as an unexpected flirtation with an infuriatingly handsome circus owner, Mr. Ansel Blakely.

Rhosyn's investigations of the Hood lead to the discovery of a more sinister plot in a trail of missing Talented. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a tangled web of lies connecting the thief, the new King, and Mr. Blakely's circus. Rhosyn walks along a tightrope between her criminal past and her role in the Royal Police, but protecting her home will force her over the edge, and there is no net to catch her if she falls. Doing so would be hard enough without the strange kinship she feels with the Hood, and the nagging questions of whether her desire to catch him has to do with more than just professional pride.
