Crimson Vows

"You're tempting fate, Mira... and me."

Scarlet Cruz is no stranger to danger. As the brilliant and ruthless member of an elite heist crew, she thrives on the rush of perfectly orchestrated jobs-one step ahead of the law, and always out of reach. Trust is a luxury she cannot afford, and emotions are nothing but distractions. When she walks into a quiet bar after a job, she's only looking for a quick drink to take the edge off.

Mira Fallon catches Scarlet's eye from across the room. Alone, reserved, and wrapped in an air of mystery, Mira is exactly the kind of distraction Scarlet never allows herself. Intrigued by her quiet confidence, Scarlet makes a move, unaware that the woman in front of her is far from innocent-and far too close to her own dangerous world.

Sent to infiltrate Scarlet's crew by those who want to bring the infamous thief down, Mira has one mission: get close to Scarlet, gain her trust, and sabotage their next heist from the inside. But the more time she spends in Scarlet's dangerous orbit, the more she's drawn to the very woman she was sent to deceive.

But in a life where vows are written in blood, will their forbidden love survive, or will it be consumed by the crimson tides of deception and revenge?
