The Watchmaker.The Thief.The Ultimate Heartthrob.Rook Blackheath has spent enough time in juvenile detention to know for sure that he certainly doesn't want to go back to prison. The food is crap, the clothes are itchy, and there isn't a woman in sight. Well... the ones he wanted to fuck, anyway. He should probably stop stealing cars, but it makes a lot of money; the stakes are too high to leave this world. And why should he give up what he enjoys doing so much? He gets the answer to this question in an unusual form - in the form of a seductive, explosive five-foot-three-inch tall thing named Sasha, who doesn’t even look in his direction, no matter what his efforts that he makes so desperately to charm her. But Rook is not so easy to stop. Just like the watches he restores after they break, Rook knows how women work. Women are a game for him. A game in which he always wins. Sasha has no chance. Sasha Connor's life has gone downhill since her son died five years ago. But of course you can't tell that from her. She has a great job, a wonderful home and caring friends. Every week she hosts a book club where they discuss the sexiest, most romantic love stories on the planet, and every week she falls in love with a new fictional noble knight in shining armor. Fictional men are perfect. They won't hurt you. They won't break your heart. They won't cheat on you after your child dies, and they're unlikely to leave a toilet seat open. When Rook Blackheath shows up at Sasha's work, it becomes abundantly clear that he has nothing in common with the men who live in her pages favorite books. A dangerous, arrogant, sharp-tongued, sarcastic bastard. Rook is not the guy she wants next to her. Not to mention the fact that he is eleven years younger than her. As much as Sasha is interested in him, Rook lives in a completely different world. Why, he lives in a completely different universe. She would like to keep it that way, but fate seems to have other plans. When Cinderella loses her slipper, Prince Charming turns up on her doorstep. When Sasha Connor loses her book, a criminal comes to her without knocking.
