Synopsis from Amazon:A wedding night misunderstanding sends Lucas Coulter traveling around the world while his young wife, Lady Emma, is forced into seclusion. Seven years later, Lady Emma is penniless and desperate to do whatever is necessary to support her young daughter. Shunned by the London ton and abandoned by her rich husband, she has few hopes that she will ever return to the life she once enjoyed full of parties and laughter. No one ever would guess that this beautiful young woman is hiding yet another secret: her grandfather's gambling debts have forced her to turn to burglary in order to support her daughter. Late at night, she creeps along rooftops and relieves the rich of their booty. It's not until her husband, who has just returned to England, catches her in a compromising act that Lady Emma's outlook on life begins to change. Lucas offers her not the divorce she expected, but a bargain of sorts -- an heir in exchange for his silence regarding her penchant for thievery. As Lady Emma takes her place at his side, the wedding night misunderstanding gives way to a dark secret regarding her daughter's parentage that carries a double-edged sword. If she tells Lucas her secret, it will hurt him, yet if she continues to withhold the information, it might destroy any chance she has at regaining his trust. And as time goes by, she finds that a second chance with Lucas just might be worth striking another kind of bargain -- the forever kind.
