The Love Bandits

I captured a thief...does that mean I get to keep him?

Lainey
My mother’s dream was for me to marry a rich man. So I got engaged to one…and he was a no-good, cheating so-and-so. I left him in my dust, and now I’m working as a personal assistant to a professional rich woman while I pursue my dream, running a business helping people who’ve been through messy breakups.

When a woman comes to me after her ex refuses to hand over her heirloom heart necklace, I know exactly what to do.

I cozy up to her ex to steal it back.

Jake is a smooth talker with good game, but so am I. So it doesn’t take me long to get the necklace from him.

Except it turns out they never dated, and it's not actually hers.

It's a fake version of a very expensive necklace owned by my boss...and the real one just got stolen.

Jake
I absolutely intended to steal Lainey's boss's necklace. Because if I don't bring it back to the man who sent me here, I'm toast.

Lainey agrees to help me find out who took it. Our motivations don't match up, but I'm not about to complain. Because suddenly the necklace isn't the only thing I want; I want to make her mine.
