Elizabeth uses her guile to relieve so-called respectable men of their ill-gotten gains. But brutal and greedy entrepreneur Oscar Thornton has lost a great deal of money and is out for blood. With his thugs hot on her trail, Elizabeth seizes the moment to blend in with a group of suffragists marching for their right to vote. She forms an unlikely bond with the wealthy matriarch of the group whose son, Gideon, is the rarest of species-an honest man in a dishonest world. Elizabeth knows shes playing a risky game, and her deception could be revealed at any moment, possibly even by the sharp-eyed Gideon. And Thornton is biding his time, waiting to strike. Elizabeth must draw on her wits and every last ounce of courage she possesses to keep her new life from being cut short by this vicious shadow from her past" -- Page 4 of cover ER -
