What if finding your soul mate meant losing your family?
Hope Junot is an exceptional diamond cutter, but a mediocre thief.
Still paying the price for her latest mistake, she’s fed up with being underappreciated and overly criticized.
Fate intervenes when she meets Samuel Selfridge, the brilliant and gifted artist commissioned to design the setting for the most recent legacy diamond mined in Africa.
Seeing a chance for redemption, she sets out to steal his sketches so her fellow band of thieves—the Orphans—can replicate a fake.
But things don’t go as planned. The devastating consequences of her actions catapult her into Samuel’s reclusive domain and away from the Orphans.
By turns, the complex, cranky designer intrigues and infuriates her. And when she finds herself falling in love, she can only hope he never learns her true purpose in being with him.
Caught between two worlds, can Hope find a way to keep the man she loves without tearing herself apart from her family? Or will the collision course she’s set destroy them all?
