Cat O'Connell has no idea why she's been hired to steal a diary from the Dublin town house of the Earl of Kilronan. But after a disastrous affair led to her banishment from Regency Society, she's scraped by doing what she can to make money.
When Aidan Douglas, the Earl of Kilronan surprises Cat in the act of stealing his father's diary, he is shocked to discover that she appears to be reading the mysterious language of Feyin the diary and seems to understand its ancient, headache-inducing language. Haunted by the disappearance of his brother, and the murder of his father at the hands of the Amhas-draoi, guardians of the divide between the Feyand mortal worlds, he believes his father's diary may hold the answers he seeks. Aidan makes a decision to trust this beautiful and unlikely thief and makes her an offer she can't refuse-translate the book for him or be dragged before the local magistrate.
With Cat's help, Aidan feels he's on the verge of finally discovering the truth about the death of his family. But as Cat slowly translates each page, the two of them are drawn further into his father's violent legacy of the Otherworld and Aidan finds himself drawn further under the spell of the tempting woman beneath the thief's clothing.
