Valentine is like nothing I’ve ever known before. Good, young, sweet, and alluring—with curves and an innocence far more tempting than any vault or priceless art. I didn’t plan on her, and I sure as h*ll didn’t plan on the diamonds I’m supposed to steal being draped around her neck. …So I’m taking her too. But when I lay my hands on the gorgeous little tease squirming against me, and with one taste of that sassy mouth, I’m lost. And when I find out she’s never been touched? Well, that’s something else I’ll be stealing too. I know she’s off limits. I know this breaks every one of my rules. I know I don’t give a damn about any of that. Claiming her cherry is going to be the sweetest sin. But stealing her heart is going to be the greatest heist this thief ever pulled… All the clichés, ridiculously over-the-top, and more sugary sweetness than a marshmallow peep. Chocolates, roses, diamonds, kidnapped by an obsessed growly alpha... you know, just the old fashioned classics ;). As with all my books, this standalone is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.
