The Sinners & Saints Series | Book One He started watching her because she stole from him. He couldn't stop because she was the most dangerous thing he'd ever wanted. Mara Voss is many things. An art curator. A thief. A liar so practiced she's forgotten what her real face looks like. She has rules - hard ones, carved from years of surviving on nothing but her own ruthlessness - and the most important rule is simple: never let them get close. She's broken into boardrooms, offshore accounts, and private servers without leaving a fingerprint. She's walked away from every mark untouched and unbothered. Then she steals from Zane Mercer. Zane Mercer is the kind of man cities are quietly afraid of. Publicly, he runs an empire. Privately, he is one. He has never lost anything he decided to keep, never wanted anything he couldn't take, and never met a problem he couldn't make disappear. The file Mara stole could end him. He finds her in three days. He tells himself he wants the file back. He tells himself she's a loose end. He tells himself a lot of things in the dark, standing outside her building in the rain, unable to make himself walk away. Mara knows he's watching. She's always known. What she didn't plan for was watching back. What she didn't plan for was a man who looks at all her sharpest edges and doesn't flinch. Who learns her the way she learns a building - every exit, every shadow, every hidden room - and decides he wants to stay inside anyway. What she didn't plan for was wanting to let him. But Mara's past doesn't stay buried. A ghost from nine years ago is moving through the city with her name in his mouth, and the secret she stole from Zane's server is the only thing standing between her and a debt her father sold her to pay. Two predators. One city. A game neither of them planned to lose. The only question is who breaks first.
