"It's beautiful." My mouth quickly snaps back shut at the realization of how close I am to the over a hundred year old painting, just inches away.

"It is," Harry admits cockily. I can still feel his smirk behind me, now joined by a stare I'm sure. His voice grows quieter again. "How much would you estimate it to cost, in your professional opinion?"

"Roughly 22.7-38 million pounds," I huff, suddenly aware of both of our chests rising and falling quickly. He lets out a small whistle.

"And would you believe I got it for free? What a steal." This is it. Another of his cards officially into play. Harry's a thief, a criminal.

La Grandeur Museum seems to hold the awe of everyone except its inheritor, Caroline Archambault. She's stuck in a black and white path until a familiar stranger, Harry Styles, adds color back into her world. But that's not the only thing he brings - art theft, forgery, and danger.

Caroline is set to inherit far more than she ever planned.
