The Thief

Street hustler Jody plays any role that will win the confidence of a mark. His sights are set on Lord Cyril Belmont, a potential ticket to financial freedom that could change Jody's life. With a fake investment scheme in mind and larceny in his heart, he sets a snare for the wealthy gentleman. Cyril Belmont may have a title but he's as broke as a china plate and on the verge of selling his dilapidated country estate to start a new life in America.
When his quiet, solitary life is invaded by a bright, passionate man who sets his head spinning, Cyril is ready to share whatever he has with the electrifying stranger-including the deepest recesses of his heart. As Jody begins to cultivate inexplicable feelings for the sweet, gentle man who raises rare orchids, he intends to end his seduction and slink back to the ghetto. But then his cover is blown and the budding romance is crushed.
It takes an ocean voyage and several unexpected twists of fate to bring two strangers to a true understanding of each other and the very real bond they share.
