It begins with a legend . . . Leads to a betrayal . . . Provokes a murder . . . And could end with the score of a lifetime. I should have known better than to fall for a thief. After all, I was one of the best. But Remy St. James exploded into my life, took what he wanted, then disappeared like smoke. Unlike a priceless piece of art, Remy isn't worth chasing. I let him go—and walked away from what was rightfully mine. Now one of the world's best insurance recovery agents, my impressive success rate is matched only by Sterling Yates, a by-the-rule-book rival who hates losing to me almost as much as he hates that he wants me. And he does want me. It's a shame I can't get him to cross that line, but then a man that hot with a body that good can't play by the rules forever. It's a good life—right up until I find my mentor dying in a pool of blood on his kitchen floor. I know what he was chasing. A legendary collection, spoken of in whispers, hunted in secret. And I know where—and to who—that search would have led him. This time, I'm not walking away, even if it leaves me trapped between old passion and new love. Heist of Hearts: The Beginning is a prequel to an all-new romantic suspense series from RITA ® Award winning author Elizabeth Dyer.
