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?"
"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

The door opens as easily as the previous time. The conversation that breaks out in the room is lost as I close the door, silently behind me. I know Theo must be seizing the moment to tell Cameron what has really happened. Those truths that their grandmother omitted for years. Maybe it's not the reunion he was hoping to have with his brother, but it's all I can give him right now.


After waiting a moment, to make sure no one has noticed my presence and then securing the door behind my back, I begin to move around the room, trying not to make noise.


There are many valuable pieces, but I can tell that what Cam really wanted was to have a place in his home in which to pay homage to his life. Photos of his mother and him stand out in silver frames; there are model trains and boats inside bottles, and trophies for spelling bees or tennis competitions.
