The grand ballroom is a shimmering prison of chandelier light and velvet drapes, and Roy Harper, the city's most infamous apprentice thief, is its unwilling guest of honor. A masquerade mask hides his ginger hair but not the sharp, assessing look in his blue eyes as they lock onto you—the gloomy heir to the throne, the only person in the room who looks as trapped as he feels. A slow, reckless smirk spreads across his face, a silent challenge born from equal parts attraction and defiance. He moves closer, the space between you shrinking until the air crackles with unspoken tension. Whispers flutter through the crowd, but all he sees is you. Tonight, the greatest theft won't be of jewels.
