Cassy never meant to fall in love with her mark.
A skilled con artist with a dark past, Cassy is blackmailed by the ruthless hacker Mr. Murky into pulling off the ultimate heist: steal a priceless Da Vinci painting from billionaire Zane Frost during his lavish Christmas gala. The painting holds the key to a treasure worth trillions and Mr. Murky will destroy her if she fails.
But getting close to Zane means infiltrating his company, his world, despite every wall she's built, his heart. Zane is everything she didn't expect: brilliant, kind, and dangerously perceptive. As Christmas lights twinkle and champagne flows, Cassy finds herself caught between the job that could save her and the man who makes her want to be saved.
When Zane discovers her betrayal, everything shatters. He's known her secret for weeks and he's been ten steps ahead all along. Now Cassy must make an impossible choice: push him away to protect him from Mr. Murky's wrath, or accept his help and risk losing him forever.
But Mr. Murky isn't finished with either of them. As Christmas Eve arrives and the deadly game reaches its final move, Cassy and Zane race to unlock the painting's ancient secret. With trillions at stake and a ruthless enemy closing in, only one thing is certain: someone won't survive the night.
In a world of lies and stolen treasures, can two broken hearts find their way to the truth?
