Caught in the act of stealing a ruby, Thurston pretends to be in Falstro’s home to seduce him. Breathlessly, she offers herself to him as a distraction. And, floating in sated bliss afterward, Falstro leaves her alone. Taking advantage of his absence, Thurston manages to escape. When Falstro discovers the theft of the valuable family heirloom, he knows who the culprit is—intimately. With no knowledge of her identity, he keeps his meager knowledge from the sheriff, and hires a bow street runner to search for her. He pursues her with determination…but is it to recover the stolen property, or for the thief?
