Romance Series | Romance Suspense

Sofia Mikelson is an antiquities expert who specializes in amber and in creating flawless reproductions. The Gypsy's Revenge, a long-lost, priceless—and possibly cursed-- necklace, has been found. Sophia is gathered with other admirers and collectors to witness its unveiling for the Roma family. However, she runs into Luke Moreno, a security expert who loved and left her five years before, taking not only her heart but some valuable gems from her mentor and benefactor, Don Fernando. Just as the necklace is to be unveiled, the Roma family is killed and the necklace is stolen. Luke is setup to take the fall for the theft and murder. Sofia can't believe she's caught up in Luke's problems and Luke is certain that her benefactor has something to do with him being framed. They must put aside the feelings they still hold for each other in order to work together to clear their reputations...and to stay alive. But can they? HEART OF A THIEF is a sensual romance that employs several unusual characterizations in a thrilling adventure offering readers a glimpse into unfamiliar slices of life--Spanish and Gypsy. An antiquities expert and a security expert. Gail Barrett couples a fast-paced, adrenalin-filled tale of suspense with heartstopping romance. The first in the Crusaders series, the story sets up several unanswered questions that will make the reader eagerly await the next book.
