Steal my heart or Ill steal your life.
They call me Monsieur Le Dernier—the last face youll see if you cross me.
But then comes Pariss most talented pickpocket. A nineteen-year-old girl whos as clever as shes fearless. And so foolishly brazen as to defy mein public.
She should be eliminated.
Instead, I offer her my name, my wealth, my empire.
She thinks marriage to me is her punishment.
Silly girl.
She doesnt know this is only the beginning.
Each test I devise will push her to her limits. Each challenge designed to strip away another layer of resistance.
Pass, and she becomes my queen.
Fail, and she becomes my captive.
Either way, my ring stays on her finger.
