The incomparable saga of Miranda James, a child of the streets who found fame in eighteenth-century literary London.

There has never been a heroine as feisty and bright as Miranda James... never a hero as sexy and masculine as Cameron Gordon...

Meet Miranda James.

As a ragged pickpocket, she stole the Londoners' money...

As a celebrated novelist, she stole their hearts...

But only one man could capture Miranda's love...
