A beautiful con artist...a dangerous charade...a case of...Stolen Hearts. From the fresh new voice of Michelle Martin comes this sparkling romance in the bestselling tradition of Jayne Ann Krentz. An ex-jewel thief pulls the con of her life, but one man is determined to catch her--and never let her get away. For Tess Alcott, chocolate was a vice; stealing jewels was pure pleasure. So when her ruthless former "employer" turned up to coerce her into taking part in a daring heist, he didn't have to twist her arm too far. He only had to hold out the lure of the magnificent Farleigh emeralds. To win them, all Tess needs to do is convince one sweet old lady and one grouchy, blue-blooded--and distractingly handsome--lawyer that she's the missing heiress to a fortune. But Tess doesn't realize the danger, until the infuriating lawyer beats her at her own game...and steals her most prized possession...her heart. Now Tess doesn't know which she wants more: the gorgeous emeralds or the gorgeous emerald-eyed lawyer....
