"Interesting ethical twist in this romantic suspense."

Damien Black is a retired art thief, one who has probably made millions or more from stealing famous paintings. He's retired, but is asked to do just one more job. Should he do it? Can he still pull it off? These are the questions that fill his mind until he meets the new art director of the very museum he is supposed to steal from.

Angel Lafonte is almost just that - an angel in the eyes of Damien. She's thrilled when she meets Damien and amused by the angle he takes in getting a date with her. She likes the lavish gifts he showers her with. She wants a personal life, but an overbearing brother has made privacy almost impossible.

Damien comes to the rescue and the two are able to spend quality time together without the nosy brother finding out. Damien is ready to choose Angel over the art job, however someone else has entered the scene to complicate matters. He has to steal the painting or suffer the ultimate consequences.

Personal ethics aside, I enjoyed the playful bantering between Angel and Damien. Ms. Byrd captured my attention with witty dialogue, scorching love scenes and a most interesting twist.
