The best way to meet a man is . . . breaking into his house? Lina Herrera hates risks. So prying up the floorboards in a stranger's house isn't her usual MO - but real estate agents are jerks about lost property. And technically this was her childhood home. Interrupted by the dreamy, tousle-haired owner, Lina is mortified - but Reece Howell is un-bothered by her break-in. Not that it matters. They're just two strangers...right? But when Lina's lukewarm situationship stands her up a week later, it's Reece who saves the night. New in town and with more in common with Lina than a shared crime scene, Reece's charm ignites an unlikely spark. But then a management change makes him Lina's new boss, and her aversion to risk puts Reece in the friendzone. As she struggles to find the courage to break her own rules, can Lina learn to trust her desires - both at work and in the bedroom? A sweet and steamy, first person POV, contemporary romance novel, A Liar and a Thief will sweep you off your feet.
