Riley Gray is the daughter of a corrupt cop who taught her all sorts of tricks to turn her into an expert thief. One day, Riley discovers that her father put them in a mess she can only get out of by stealing from the richest man in town: Theodore Maddox. To save her sister, Riley agrees, but eventually gets discovered by the attractive young man to whom she desperately tells the truth. Curiously, he doesn't seem interested in putting her in jail, but offers Riley a deal instead: if she steals an important jewel for him, Theo will pay her father's debt. But why does Theo want that jewel, and what will Riley have to do to get it?

"Your wounds are different," he says in a serious voice. "I can heal them."
"What makes you think I can't heal yours?"
"I am not a battle you wish to fight," he clarifies.
"You're rushing to pick battles for me," I argue. "I'm the one who decides what to fight."

A Thief for the CEO

“You're kidding me,” says Cleo next to me, stopping to look at the plane.


I'm staring too. The luxurious private plane awaits us.


“I guess he’s serious,” I mutter to Cleo.


“Of all the impossibilities I could have imagined in my life, I never imagined that getting on a private plane was the one it was going to happen. But look, I'm not complaining.”


I burst out laughing as she hurries to get on the plane.


The weekend is almost here, so we must travel to California so we can carry out the first phase of Theo's plan. Normally on the weekends, I get together with Hannah, but this time my sister will have to wait.


At the very least, I'm not as anxious as I should be. I know Ella will take good care of her. Although it's also true that the prospect of having to face this man I barely know anything about never ceases to unsettle me.


As I board the plane, I see Theo standing next to Hugo.
