Even though robberies and chase had been her second nature, something had always felt wrong... When her people kidnap the dissolute son of a Duke, Marie's whole world turns upside down. While her burning desire for their prisoner begins to relentlessly grow everyday, will she be able to carry through this last crime, or will she risk it all for a chance at a forbidden romance?

Will Benedict manage to strike a bargain with the gang in order to gain more time with his enticing captor? Marie and Benedict both know that this world is not made for an outlaw and a nobleman to dream of a common future together, without condemning their loved ones to scandal and deprivation. Will they defy society's constraining rules and fight for their unconditional love? Will they manage to forget their sinful past and surrender to their passionate desire?
