The newspapers call her Lady Moonlight. No one in high society would dream that the elusive jewel thief is one of their own -- demure New Orleans debutante Mystere Rillieux, a woman who hides her past as well as her seductive womanly charms from everyone she meets. Everyone but one man... Railroad magnate Rafe Belloch has no lack of fortune and no lack of pride. Which is why he has never forgotten the masked woman with startling blue eyes and catlike grace who once relieved him of his money -- and his clothes. Someone Rafe suspects he has just met again. Now, amid the glittering balls and operas of the summer season, a dangerous dance around the truth begins, where a man bent on delicious justice closes in on his prey...and a master deceiver may finally meet her match.
