Diamonds are a thiefโs best friendโฆbut rubies make for an interesting twist.
Adam and Jess are back and ready for the next heist in Twisted Taste. The target: a legendary diamond-and-ruby necklace, the Red Scarlet.
Professional jewel thief Adam Henry lives by one rule: only steal from bad guys. The Red Scarletโs wine-mogul owner is one, or so Adamโs been led to believe. He and Jess need to fake it through an engagement party, ID the Red Scarletโs location and get out. But the plan changes quickly when Adam spots Celeste, his prickly ex and former accomplice.
Sheโs talented, and sheโs got her sights set on the Red Scarlet, too.
As if dealing with Adamโs gorgeous ex isnโt enough, Jess nearly blows their cover with a single misstep. She still has a lot to learn when it comes to being a thiefโฆand, apparently, a girlfriend. Things go from bad to worse when Celeste turns up dead. When Adam orders Jess off the case, sheโs determined to stick aroundโฆeven if their partnershipโand relationshipโhas never been stormier.
Adamโs never fully trusted a partner before, never mind tried to solve a heist-related murder with the woman he loves. Chemistry isnโt the issue for Adam and Jess. But theyโll need to figure out how to transfer it from romance to business if they want to make it out of wine country alive.
