Synopsis: "It is the pickpocket's art that places the ancient watch in eighteen-year-old Angela's hand ...and inexplicable magic that sweeps the gypsy waif from the streets of modern-day London into a world of gaslight and horse-drawn carriages--and into the, arms of an arrogant, seductive nobleman. No sooner does he see her than Royce St. James, Earl of Westfield, risks everything on an impossible and irresistible wager: he will transform this violet-eyed hellcat into a lady and make her fall in love with him--even if he has to change the course of history to do it..."
