1. HEIST by Tate James
SYNOPSIS
Every four years, the criminal underworld engages in a game. The Game. The challenges range from the impossible to the deadly to the truly insane. Things that only a crazy person would tackle.
Iβve won the game 5 times. This time will be no different.
Iβm at the top of my field now, the best of the worldβs thieves. Thereβs nothing I canβt steal, and this time, the game is all about theft, subterfuge, and sleight of hand. Starting with a legendary painting of poppy flowers. Itβs a painting that disappeared into the black market decades ago, but I know where to find it. The only person standing in my way is her.
Nothing will stop me winning the game, not even the sultry, quick witted brunette who lures me into her painting studio with the most irresistible bait.
I have no option to fail at The Game. Itβs my legacy.
The Valenshek Legacy.
2. FORGERY by Tate James
SYNOPSIS
Dreams. Goals. Plans. You envision a dream, set a goal, and formulate a plan. I had diligently pursued all of these steps. I was on my way to obtaining my degree, engaging with breathtaking works of art, and unexpectedly falling into bed with my professor.
Yeah, that last bit wasnβt part of the grand scheme, but even I had to admit that it wasnβt an unwelcome deviation.
Ironically, despite my meticulous planning, attention to detail, and even despite my own deceptions, I ended up being the one deceived. Being manipulated and used.
He didnβt desire me for who I was; he merely coveted my connections. He yearned for me because of my access to his prized painting. And when he absconded into the night with the piece heβd been willing to betray me for, he shattered my heart. Except, he got caught, and in doing so he inadvertently revealed my biggest secret. My forgery.
3. RESTORATION by Tate James
SYNOPSIS
Itβs always been about the chase. The prize. The puzzle. The Game. I became the best of the best, Hermes, because no one could catch me. No one could touch me. No one had. Until her. Sheβs everything I never knew I wanted. She is my life.
Itβs been one bad call after another in this Game. Itβs cost the woman I love more than I ever wanted her to have to pay. I would give it all up for her, but the Game must be played.
I started this game for my grandfather. I fought to win to claim the Valenshek Legacy. Win, lose, or draw, Iβm not leaving this town without Tristian Ives.
