The Elite Crime Unit operates behind the scenes of Interpol... and employs the most talented criminal minds in the world. Because, as everyone knows, only a thief can catch a thief... or seduce him... An old farmhouse in France is the hideout of former jewel thief Josephine Devereaux. Admittedly, there aren't many men in the neighborhood, but she does have a cat to cuddle and snuggle with. Her current life is a stark contrast to her previous life, where she was constantly on the run from the law, so she enjoys her world... until an intruder in a three-piece suit tries to convince her otherwise. He wants her back in the game to help with the heist... and he's not going to stop with the threats. But little does Josephine know that the notorious - and charming - thief, Xavier Lambert, has his sights set on the same 180-carat loot that the girl is being blackmailed into stealing. Much to his chagrin, he does so not as a free agent of his cause, but as a member of the Elite Crime Unit, a team he was forced to join when his illustrious career came to an abrupt end. And little does Xavier imagine that his return to the underworld involves a kiss from a stranger, a searing slap and a hunt for missing treasure - along with an eager, sexy woman who can outwit him... The book contains real sex scenes and strong language, and is intended for 18+
