Jack Dandy didn't become prince of the London underworld at barely twenty-one by being soft-hearted, even if a certain girl in a steel corset has wormed her way into his affections of late. He knows how to manipulate charm and rob people blind. And if his criminal activities embarrass his aristocratic father, so much the better.

So when a friend of Jack's father hires him for an underhanded job, Jack is happy to oblige-for an outrageous fee, of course. Delivering a mysterious crate seems like an easy task-until Jack realizes just what is inside...
