His Pretty Little Thief

Dear little thief, I know what you came for. I know you thought it’d be easy. I know you thought I would be easy. Spoiler, it won’t be, and I’m not. You thought seducing me, and stealing a sample of my...seed, to sell on the black market would be a breeze. Except we both know you’ve never done anything with a man, let alone one as powerful, and rich, and obsessed as me. I know I should have you arrested. A man with my wealth and my power could ruin you with a snap of the fingers. But I won’t. Maybe it’s because you intrigue me, little one. Maybe it’s because I enjoy a challenge. Or maybe it’s just because you look so f-ing pretty on your knees saying “please, sir”. We’ll just have to find out. Let the games begin. Come and play, little thief. Come and play, so I can play with you. Ludicrously over-the-top, alpha as all get-out, sweet as pie, and 100% as naughty as you're thinking it's going to be. This is one thief who's about to meet her match, and get MUCH more than she bargained for ;). As with all my books, this one is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.
