I came to steal a masterpiece, not get tangled up with my infuriating alien rival
He may be tall, dangerous, and hot as a blazing star
But no matter what he says, I’m no one’s fated mate!

Penny
I didn’t come to the galaxy’s most exclusive art show to flirt—especially not with an infuriatingly hot alien rogue who’s after the same prize I am. Varok is arrogant, lethal, and exactly the kind of distraction I can’t afford. I have a mission, a deadline, and no room for desire… no matter how his piercing gaze makes my pulse race or how his presence sets my body on fire.

Varok
I planned the perfect heist. The only thing I didn’t account for was Penny—a brilliant, stubborn, and utterly irresistible human thief. As soon as I see her, I know fate marked her as mine, but claiming her could mean sacrificing my escape, my heist, and maybe my life. Trusting her is dangerous. Letting her go might be impossible.

With enemies closing in and the prize of a lifetime on the line, we have to decide what matters more: the treasure we came to steal, or the bond neither of us saw coming.
