출판사 설명
A sexy, high-stakes romantic caper where stolen jewels, dangerous criminals, and one irresistible bad boy make for a heart-pounding ride.
Janet Aims thought divorcing the ruthless Banner Westfield—a.k.a. “the world’s worst husband”—was her ticket to freedom. Surviving his attempted murder was just the bitter cherry on top. Now she’s ready to cash in what’s left of their toxic history, starting with pawning the gaudy wedding ring and tacky necklace he gave her.
But when the police reveal the necklace is part of the stolen Pellinni Jewel collection, Janet’s past comes roaring back. Even from prison, Banner has found a way to drag her into his schemes, leaving her caught between Colombian gangsters, jewel thieves, and the law.
Her only lifeline? Rocky Hernandez, a smoldering ex-con with a knack for navigating Detroit’s dangerous underworld—and making her pulse race. Teaming up with Rocky might be risky, but as bullets fly and secrets unravel, Janet finds herself gambling with more than just her safety. Because this time, the biggest prize might be her heart.
Fast, funny, and full of sizzling chemistry, Thieves Like Us delivers romantic suspense at its most addictive. Perfect for fans of dangerous liaisons, witty banter, and bad boys worth breaking the rules for.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ambrose revisits characters from her 2008 debut, Lie to Me, in this lighthearted romance. Janet Aims decides to erase her ex-husband from her life by hocking the jewelry he gave her. What she doesn't realize is that one gaudy necklace is actually part of the famed Pellinni Jewels. After someone breaks into Janet's car and condo searching for the rest of the jewels, Janet turns to reformed jewel thief Rocky Hernandez for help. He vows to keep Janet safe by tracking down the jewels himself, even if it means getting in touch with his unsavory former associates. Ambrose deftly balances Janet and Rocky's steamy relationship with the suspense plot, though at times she gives too much emphasis to secondary characters.
