Betrayal, power struggles, and a dangerous attraction - Lady Patrice O'Teague and Detective Craig Lansing are caught in the middle of a three-way fight for leadership in the Port Recovery Thieves Guild. As they navigate the treacherous world of thieves and Clans, they can't ignore the sparks flying between them.

Set in the gritty streets of Vensoog, where the local Thieves Guild is plagued by power struggles and ruthless competition, this thrilling tale follows Patrice and Craig as they fight to survive in a world where trust is a dangerous luxury. As the local Thieves Guild struggles to fill its leadership position, VanDoyle and Grouter compete against the partnership of Tovaris and Sirrah for the coveted spot.

Meanwhile, Lady Ispone, Lady Katherine, and Lady Katherine and Zack's daughters, Juliette, Lucinda and Azalure, uncover Grouter's twisted scheme and must fight to rescue their young daughters from his clutches. But with VanDoyle's plan to overthrow the Clans and solidify the Thieves Guild's hold on Vensoog, the stakes are higher than ever before.
