A Thief for the CEO

Riley Gray is the daughter of a corrupt cop who taught her all sorts of tricks to turn her into an expert thief. One day, Riley discovers that her father put them in a mess she can only get out of by stealing from the richest man in town: Theodore Maddox. To save her sister, Riley agrees, but eventually gets discovered by the attractive young man to whom she desperately tells the truth. Curiously, he doesn't seem interested in putting her in jail, but offers Riley a deal instead: if she steals an important jewel for him, Theo will pay her father's debt. But why does Theo want that jewel, and what will Riley have to do to get it? *** "Your wounds are different," he says in a serious voice. "I can heal them." "What makes you think I can't heal yours?" "I am not a battle you wish to fight," he clarifies. "You're rushing to pick battles for me," I argue. "I'm the one who decides what to fight." A Thief for the CEO is created by Andy Delgado, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
