Savannah

​

I'm a bookworm. I read about adventure—I certainly don't chase it.

​

But call me curious when a dangerously handsome stranger arrives at my restaurant with a stab wound, surrounded by an air of mystery and sporting a lethally sexy set of dimples. I swore off love after my last heartbreak, but resisting Laurent proves nearly impossible.

​

Then my world literally goes up in flames.

​

With my dream reduced to ashes, Laurent offers me a tempting bargain: he'll help me rebuild my restaurant if I help him steal a book that holds the key to a long-lost sapphire.

​

It's a deal with a thief. But beneath the roguish charm and confidence, I discover a lonely man who's spent his entire life believing he's not enough—and a heart that's been hiding in plain sight.

​

Laurent

​

I’m the infamous Frenchman, Laurent. Too charming for my own good.

​

My silver tongue and talent for disappearing without a trace have made me one of the world's most successful thieves. Now, I’m chasing down the one prize I’ve always wanted—a legendary sapphire necklace.

​

Then one slash of a knife changes everything, and I collapse on Savannah Grant’s doorstep bleeding and in desperate need of help.

​

Savannah is everything I'm not. Honest. Kind. Sunshine wrapped in lemon blossoms. I hide behind expensive suits, clever smiles and stolen treasures, and she's the first person who's ever looked beyond the performance.

​

Our partnership was only supposed to be temporary. I’ve told Savannah I’m not a hero, but after a ruthless enemy kidnaps her, I fly to Istanbul to find her. In a final showdown, I’m forced to choose between the treasure I’ve spent my life chasing… or the woman who's become my greatest prize.
