Besides living a life on the outside, always looking in, Victoria’s admired one particular agent—Mav Jones—for far too long. With the help of her brother’s secretary, Victoria finds a way to scheme her way into the agency, but can she scheme her way into the heart of one of the agency’s most dangerous men? 
  Mav Jones isn’t happy about the idea of female agents; he’s known too many silly women. So when Archie convinces Mav to marry for the sake of a case, Mav agrees but only under certain conditions. He determines the marriage is strictly business, but his new wife is surprisingly familiar, all too beautiful, and in deeper trouble than she realizes. 
  Thrust into the 1871-San Francisco world of stolen and smuggled goods, enemies and allies, truth and lies, can Mav and Victoria navigate their way without falling into harm’s way and into each other’s arms?
