Forever a Thief

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.
