Two thieves get their hearts stolen in this fast-paced caper by USA TODAY bestselling author Marilyn Pappano
A real-life Robin Hood, Lisette Malone recovers stolen property and returns it to the rightful owner...even if that’s herself! To get back a priceless statue that belonged to her late father, Lisette must finagle her way onto a heavily guarded private Caribbean island. The only catch? It’s owned by wealthy playboy Jack Sinclair, the one man who sets her heart on fire...
Lisette’s hopeful plan: seduction. When a vengeful client comes after them both, Jack and Lisette fall deeper into life-threatening danger, and she can’t help but fall for her handsome protector. But what if perpetrating the heist of the century means losing the love of a lifetime?
Lisette scowled at him. “You don’t have to play the tough-guy hero.”
“If you ever see me being the hero, keep in mind: I will be playing. I like things peaceful and easy. I’ll meet David somewhere he wouldn’t dare cause a scene. I’ll convince him I didn’t steal Shepherdess, he’ll apologize, he’ll send you a gift—diamonds, probably—and that will be the end of it.”
Jack didn’t believe what he was saying, and it was clear she didn’t, either, but she didn’t argue. Instead, she resettled in her seat, forehead knitted in a frown, and gestured grudgingly at the upcoming highway sign. “Get off here.”
He exited and turned toward her neighborhood. A distinctly uncomfortable air settled in the truck rather quickly, but he didn’t let it get to him. Irritation, he could take. Threats against her person or her life, he couldn’t.
But damned if he didn’t like, at least a bit, the idea of being her hero.

I finished writing this book almost exactly on the thirtieth anniversary of the sale of my first book. It’s been a fun, exciting, eye-popping, frustrating, happy, sad, wonderful time, but one thing has never changed: my deep, deep gratitude for being a part of this business. I’ve met incredible friends; I’ve learned incredible things. One of the best aspects of it all has been the readers. You guys have stroked my ego, made me laugh and brought me to tears. You’ve encouraged me and made me feel ten feet tall; you’ve shared your experiences; you’ve offered friendship; and one of the best things of all: you get me. Do you know how cool it is for a sort of, ah, unique person like me to find people who really, truly get her?
Whether you’re a frequent flier with me or this is your first time, I hope you enjoy the trip. Thanks for taking the journey with me and for helping me do what I love best. Thanks for the best life ever!
