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?

A Thief for the CEO

The party is held at a luxurious mansion in iconic Beverly Hills, a temple for the rich and powerful who gather in L.A. Ironically, the rules of this place are the same ones I've known all my life: watch your back, don't drink from a glass you didn't pour yourself and be aware of strangers' intentions. No matter where you go, people's intentions always seem to be the same.


“Be careful,” Theo asks me when we arrive. His gaze lingers on me for a moment.


I step into my role as I get out of the car. Amidst the darkness, I leave Riley behind and transform into Leah Cohen, the powerful daughter of a New York businessman. For weeks, I have been working with Ella on the way I walk, look and act to make it look like I belong in this life and not just pretend that I do.
