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?

"What makes you think I can't heal yours?"

"You're rushing to pick battles for me," I argue. "I'm the one who decides what to fight."

A Thief for the CEO

I have seen the entrance of Cameron’s house before, but I have never been inside it, even when I know very well who lives there. But that's normal. I know everything there is to know about Cameron, after all. Unlike the Baroness herself, I've taken it upon myself to thoroughly research my brother for years, somehow trying to get a clear impression of who he is.


Luckily, I know Riley doesn't lie. Cameron is a good person. A little clueless, impulsive and a little immature at times, but he's good at heart. He doesn't deserve any of what he's going through, but the truth is, none of us did. Starting with my mother.


I have to stop for a moment and look at her. She's dressed all in black and her hair is on a high ponytail. She looks beautiful without even trying.


A quiet nod from me tells her that I am indeed ready to face the nightmare my grandmother is. Riley nods back.
