Former US Secret Service agent Lilianna Alarie thought she'd left her high-stakes career behind-until a cryptic job ad at her local café pulls her back into the treacherous landscape of white-collar crime. The offer? A chance to join an elite team planning the most audacious art heist in history. The catch? The mastermind behind the operation is Lucien Macoy-the man responsible for the scandal that cost Lilianna her career.

Lucien Macoy is the tall, handsome, and condescending criminal mastermind with a reputation for always getting what he wants. Lilianna knows she should walk away, but with a crippling debt hanging over her, this high-stakes mission might be her only way out. Still, partnering with the man who destroyed her life means navigating a razor-thin line between reluctant alliance and seething animosity.

As they prepare to infiltrate the world of fine art, the tension between them threatens to unravel the entire operation. With millions of euros-and their lives-on the line, Lilianna and Lucien must decide if they can trust each other-or if betrayal is inevitable in a world where greed, deception, and desire are all part of the game.All Rights Reserved
