The Love Heist - Angela Casella

. .

Résumé :
I captured a thief...does that mean I get to keep him? Lainey My parents' dream was for me to marry a rich man. So I got engaged to a wealthy narcissist...and he made me so miserable I was relieved to discover he was cheating. I left him-and them-in my dust, and now I'm working as a personal assistant to a professional rich woman while I pursue my dream. My new business, The Love Fixers, helps women who've been burned by relationships regain their lost dignity and, in some cases, get revenge on the men who did them wrong. But everything changes when a sexy, smooth-talking con artist tries to steal my boss's very expensive necklace. I catch him in a compromising position, but I don't turn him in... Because it turns out the necklace he's after was already stolen by someone else. Jake claims he's a retired thief, and he was only pulled into this job because his brother ran into trouble with their former employer. The last thing I want to do is fall under the spell of another charming liar, but if he's telling the truth, he needs me. Jake When I explain the fix I'm in to Lainey, she agrees to help me find her boss's necklace. Our motivations don't match up, but I'm not about to complain. Because the more time I spend with this perplexing, gorgeous woman, who's devoted her life to helping the broken-hearted, the more I want to heal her heart. **An interconnected standalone in the Unlucky in Love series**...

Sommaire:
Previously published as The Love Bandits Asking for a friend...if I capture a thief, do I get to keep him? Lainey I run a revenge service for women with terrible exes. Business is booming. So when I catch a devastatingly handsome stranger trying to steal my boss's priceless necklace, I do what any revenge-minded woman would- I launch myself at him. Unfortunately, my vigilantism fails spectacularly. The necklace is already gone, and Jake swears he doesn't have it. He also claims he's retired and only agreed to one last job because his brother's life is on the line. I've come across plenty of charming liars in my line of work, so I don't just take his word for it. Which is how I end up hunting for a missing necklace with a former criminal who helps me run my revenge business, wins over my cat, and looks at me like I'm something worth protecting... I don't trust criminals. Unfortunately, I might want to keep this one. Jake I was supposed to grab the necklace and leave. Instead, I got tackled by a five-foot-nothing revenge entrepreneur with zero self-preservation instincts. I've done things I'm not proud of, but I really was trying to stay out of trouble when I was shoved into this job. I'm ready for a fresh start, and Lainey makes me want to be better than my past. Now I just have to clear my name, save my brother, and convince the woman who literally captured me that I'm worth the risk. Easy, right?...
