There's a whole group of them in this book, and they're absolutely delightful. I have a sweet spot for all kinds of thieves and other criminals. It is a lovely story, but in my opinion the potential of these characters has not been fully used.

Sebastian wonders how he could ever entrust something as precious as his heart to a born thief. Sebastian lies, better than anyone else, for a living. When he and Sebastian collide in Venice on a con to steal a priceless copy of Michelangelo's David, the unthinkable happens: they begin to fall in love.Ī long, lonely year later, Sebastian emerges as a new member of London’s team of world-class thieves. He lives for the next job, liberating art from museum walls and prized treasures from collector’s vaults. The one heart he never meant to break was London’s.Ĭonsidered by many to be the greatest thief of his age, London favours a minimalist life, devoid even of a surname.

Grifter Sebastian Walker sells love like nobody else, leaving a trail of vacated bank accounts, empty champagne bottles and broken hearts in his wake.
