The thief must be a well-connected member of the Ton. And she doesn't need to look much further than Cameron de Vere, Earl of Westwood, for a suspect.
As the eldest of nine scholarly sisters, Calliope takes her duties as president of the Ladies Artistic Society with the utmost gravity. She prefers Greek history to fashionable flirtation, and she has little patience for an infuriating earl who recently returned from the Mediterranean only to send his family's ancient treasures back overseas.
When a masked burglar dubbed the Lily Thief leaves fresh white blossoms in pillaged cabinets, Calliope resolves to unmask him herself before the famed Alabaster Goddess vanishes from Society. And she certainly does not expect her careful investigation to lead directly into moonlit gardens and abandoned subterranean passages.
What she doesn't realize is that her determined pursuit of a criminal is beginning to look like a budding romance. Until Cameron kisses her, and her ordered life is thrown into appalling confusion!
Can a scholar who stakes everything on facts risk her heart on a man who lives by impulse?
