For Emily Parker, art insurance investigator Steven Gallagher is prepared to bleed. Emily is a liar and a thief, a former juvenile delinquent, and Steve's damn sure she's involved somewhere in The Cuzin Case he's working on. And it doesn?t matter. He doesn?t care about any of it, including the fact she's using him?and sex?to get whatever the hell it is she's after. Regardless of everything?ethics, morality, the law?regardless that he swore off women years before, Steve falls hard for the foul-mouthed little con artist, a streetwise gutsy chick who refuses to let a bad past beat her down. To keep Emily safe, he?ll do whatever it takes, put it all on the line? And keep her in line. Even if he has to apply his dominant streak to her naughty little backside, she?ll get everything she needs from him. Except his trust. No way, is he trusting his LOST ANGEL.
