Overview

"A sexy, fun, cat-and-mouse chase that hooked me from page one!"—JENNIFER PROBST, New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author of The Marriage Bargain

Jewel thief Penelope Blue is finding retirement boring. So when her FBI agent husband needs a thief to catch another thief, Pen takes her chance to jump back into the game.

Being a retired jewel thief certainly has its perks. Oh, wait. No it doesn't.

Without the thrill of the chase, life's been pretty dull. Penelope gardens, drives her gorgeous husband up the wall, and watches as her old world slowly slips away. But what's that old saying? When one thief closes the door…a copycat jimmies open a window.

And now all fingers at the FBI are pointed at her.

Set up to take the fall for thefts worth millions, Penelope have no choice but to strap on her heels and help her FBI agent husband track the thief. Grant might not think he needs a partner, but this is one case only a true professional can solve. Besides, she's got to know who's been taking her bad name in vain.

Let's just hope curiosity doesn't kill the cat burglar.

"This second outing for Penelope Blue is full of sass and snark, as well as real character development and relationship growth, giving this caper an unexpected depth. 4 Stars" — RT Book Reviews

From the Publisher

2017-06-20
A dramedy with a fanfic premise: what if Mr. and Mrs. Smith had stayed married and kept working for different sides after learning each other's secrets?In the second Penelope Blue novel, Morgan (Stealing Mr. Right, 2017, etc.) brings back her jewel-thief heroine who is resisting criminal temptation because of a promise to her husband, FBI agent and all-American good guy Grant Emerson. But despite their passionate attraction and the thrill of one-upmanship that still marks their marriage, Penelope is missing her light-fingered past with her team of fellow thieving misfits. In the meantime, Grant is overworked and coping with another (double?) agent who seems obsessed with taking over his life and dreams—and maybe his wife. There's also a copycat thief on the loose, so a bored Penelope lands herself smack in the middle of the investigation. Add in some amoral family members and Grant's eccentric and deadly co-workers, and you have a recipe for rom-com mayhem. While less intricately structured and absorbing than the dynamic first novel in the series, this one fleshes out the couple's professional and personal relationships and provides some needed point of view from Grant's perspective. The mystery feels like a MacGuffin, and the red herrings are visible from a mile away, but there's just enough to keep the plot humming along. The flawed heroine might trigger the eye-roll impulse for some readers, especially in the last third of the story. If you like pointed banter and characters that are just on the edge of functional, à la those in the novels of Jennifer Crusie or Kristan Higgins, this book will keep you occupied for a couple of afternoons.
