A smile, a dance, flirtatious banter-and witty heiress Luciana Piccolo is swept off her feet. Literally. Privileged but purposeless, Lucy is thrilled when a gorgeous, mysterious woman whisks her onto the dance floor at a masquerade ball. She is less thrilled when that same woman kidnaps her, and whisks her away to the hideout of the rebels fighting to topple the regime she's set to inherit. Lucy is forced to accompany her abductor--a laconic, rigid revolutionary named Taylor--across the war-torn regions of the former United States as Taylor carries out perilous assassinations. Relying on each other to stay alive, the antagonistic spark smolders into an ardent flame. Secrets unravel and the stakes get fatally higher, as the battle between new love and old loyalty may prove more dangerous than the war they're fighting to survive.
