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

Theo's hands run down my body, his arms trap me in a prison from which I don't want to escape. I feel his tongue run over my lips and skin. I breathe in slowly and my hands grip his shirt tightly. There is something different about this kiss. It seems to have to do with the way his desire is mingling with mine.


Theo lets his mouth run down to my chin. He bites it gently. I hold back a sigh. His tongue comes up, finds my mouth, but doesn't slip into it... His forehead rests against mine. He opens his eyes and lets them lock on mine.


His thumb goes up, caressing my lower lip with delicate pressure. His eyes glow like green fire. He has a burning gaze, full of desire that pierces me with ease.


“Are you going to be upset if we leave all this talk about Cameron's goodness for later?“ he purrs. His lips are so close, I feel the brush between his words. His closeness makes my skin crawl. I shake my head.
