Contemporary Romance
What is a man to do when he finds a sexy
cat burglar all tied up and naked? Take advantage of
her, of course. In this situation, bad boy Finn Dalton
uses her vulnerability and their mutual sexual
attraction to talk Felicity Jane Trent into being his
partner. He knows they are both after the same bauble
and believes that the best way to get it would be to
work together.
Over the years, the world has seen Felicity as a
privileged royal that is running her family's charitable
foundation. They have had no idea that she is indeed a
cat burglar of the finest ilk. She is very skilled so it
is quite unusual for her to be caught in a web of her
own making. While she is hunting down a jewel, the last
thing she expected was for her mark to tie her to her
bedposts – naked. The next last thing she expected was
for the sexy as sin Finn Dalton to walk right in out of
her past. The previous times they have met, their
attraction has been explosive, but she swore after the
last rendezvous, she was not going to fall into that
trap again. Oh, well, she did.
Finn and Felicity are soon on a globe-trotting trail to
get the prize. Along they way they scorch each other
with the intensity of their attraction. They can only
fight it for so long, before they either incinerate or
have wild, explosive sex. Guess what happens? Lovely,
steamy, erotic sex that blows their minds. Finn knows he
wants Felicity for more than this adventure, now the
crafty man will just have to convince the thief that she
has stolen his heart. (Oh, and survive all the danger
they face trying to find the jewel!)
Loved it! I think this is the best of this group of
stories so far. The men of Trinity are very hot and it
takes special ladies to keep them in line. Ms. Kauffman
does the bad boy/black sheep angle very, very well!! Not
only was there action in the sexual chemistry
department, but also there was plenty of action in other
areas to keep the plot moving along! Now, where is my
Sheppard's costume, I need to round me up a black sheep!
