Brilliant jewel thief Carla Forrest is just doing a job when she infiltrates an exclusive Hollywood party one hot August night, but fate has other plans. Seduced by disguised Prince Matheo of Monaco, she ends up having a night she’ll never forget..
For seven years, she’s pocketed jewelry, raided safes, and replaced parts of famous collections with indistinguishable replicas. This time, she’s after famous diamond the Black Orlov, formerly owned by the Czars of Russia. With the replica in her purse and knowledge of the owner’s security system in her head, she attends an exclusive costume party at his house, planning to make the switch after midnight. But things get complicated when a spectacularly attractive, virile fellow partygoer distracts her with the offer of a night of passion..
Job completed, she tries to get over her immediate infatuation with her mystery man--especially when she finds out that Matheo is actually Crown Prince of Monaco! But she’s not the only one who misses what they had, and the Prince soon finds himself making excuses to come visit her--first for sex, and then just as much for companionship..

This is my first time reading this author and I loved this book. I could not put it down once I started reading it. The story line was on point for me. The flow of the story was great. I can't wait to read other books by Laurie. I recommend this book to others.
All these misleading ratings. I'm so tired of these short no substance books. I'm holding back because someone did put in their time and effort to put this together and it wasn't the worse book I've read. It just could have been more.
