Lauralee Murphy has had all the advantages of her respected family in Victor City, Colorado. Her father used to be the sheriff-and now he's running for governor. She isn't yet sure what she'll do with her life, other than argue for the rights of the suffragettes.
Dante Quinn, fresh out of university with his law degree, is on the way to accept a position with a prestigious firm in Denver. Until the gypsy crosses his path. Surely her hex couldn't turn him into a thief. Could it? But when he follows the old woman and she gets off the train in Victor City, it seems that Dante may, indeed, be the mysterious cat burglar the law is chasing.
Is Lauralee the only one who believes in Dante's innocence? Or does she only believe it because he's the best-looking man to ever cross her path? And what about the old gypsy woman's prediction for Lauralee-is her life about to be turned upside down forever?
