Tennyson Stone, once a decorated Marine, now uses his skills in the service of Bastian Harlow, a man who targets corrupt CEOs whose wealth makes them untouchable. He does the things nobody wants to do: the intimidation, the theft, the fighting.
The killing.
His position is necessary to keep others safe, and if he has to sell his soul in exchange, so be it.
Louna Despereaux came from nothing, but she never believed she was meant to stay there. She taught herself art, fashion, culture, languages—anything she could learn to help her climb out of the life she never wants to go back to. Now, she's a respected member of one of the most prestigious fine arts museums in Paris, with contacts all over the world.
She's also one of the best art forgers in Europe.
And she has her own way of handling corrupt businessmen.
When a chance encounter between Tennyson and Louna inspires a newly "discovered" master painting (whose main figure looks suspiciously like Tennyson), Tennyson defies orders and rushes to get rid of the painting before it can be unveiled at the Valentine's Day Gala in Paris. If Tennyson fails, he'll have to do whatever is necessary to keep Louna from creating any more paintings. If he succeeds, Louna could lose everything.
Including her heart.
Hi, I'm Rachael—indie author, editor, artist, and coffee enthusiast. As Ripley Lynn, I write romantic heists filled with clever schemes, contradictory characters, and snarky leads. These books, like all my others, have a healthy dose of sarcasm and found family, but with more romantic elements thrown in. If you love shows like Leverage and White Collar, and books by Janet Evanovich, then give my Heart of the Con series a try!
