El works for the Agency, fixing their toughest problems. James is a thief, and her ex lover. El is used to working through the messiest difficulties, but this might be too much for her to handle alone.

Eleanor Williams and her partner Robert Stevens have been called in to 'fix' the slight problem of a stolen Cezanne painting. Used to being assigned the difficult problems, El figures it's another day at the office. Until she finds she needs an expert consultant. Someone used to the art world, and familiar with the criminal mind of a thief.

A thief like her ex-lover—James Waters.

The relationship between them is messy, nothing like what she's used to on the job. But with other agents involved in the successful resolution of this problem, she can't afford to let personal hassles impede her work.

As she spends more time with James, she discovers he's still the same man she loved to distraction, but he's also far more layered and complicated than she could have guessed. Facing challenges in her usual forthright manner, she can only hope that he can keep up with her as the situation becomes even more convoluted. And as for the burning intensity that flares between them... Who said life should be easy?
