Multicultural Indian | Romance

Simi’s having a tough moment – she loses her job and her apartment. But she doesn’t hesitate when her best friend Chloe calls her and needs her help and Simi races to a museum. Before she can help her friend, a mysterious stranger pulls her into the garden. He keeps her from being arrested too.

Now, Chloe’s accused of stealing a multimillion-dollar necklace. Simi doesn’t know how to help Chloe until the mysterious stranger reappears. He offers her a way to steal back the necklace and clear her friend’s name. But she’ll need a crew in order to accomplish the mission.

Simi puts together a crew of acquaintances, creates a wedding planning business, and lands the job of a lifetime. But nothing on the heist goes according to the plan. Is Simi way in over her head? Or will she be able to solve all her problems, including losing her heart to a thief?

TO HAVE AND TO HEIST by Sara Desai is the start of a new series that features friendship, romance, witty banter, and a heist that goes sideways. Simi finds herself in the most unlikely of places, but she is a master planner and thrives in chaos. Lots of secrets and plot twists will keep readers turning the pages. Don’t miss this one!

SUMMARY

To exonerate her best friend, one woman must mastermind a jewelry heist during the wedding of the season in this hilarious romantic-comedy caper from the author of The Dating Plan

Simi Chopra is on a bad-luck streak. She’s lost yet another job, her student loan debt won’t stop growing, her basement apartment is a certifiable flood zone, and now her best friend has been accused of stealing a multimillion-dollar diamond necklace. To put it lightly, she’s desperate for a break—that’s right when Jack waltzes out of the bushes and into her life.

Jack is just as charming as he is mysterious. When he offers to help her find the missing necklace and steal it back, Simi jumps at the chance to clear her friend’s name and collect the substantial reward. But every good heist needs a crew. All she needs to do is transform a ragtag group of strangers into an elite heist crew, infiltrate a high-society wedding and steal the necklace from a dangerous criminal before the happy couple say "I do." Meanwhile the bride is keeping secrets, a detective with a slow-burn smile keeps showing up at her door, and the ultimate robbery might not be the wedding con, but the way Jack is stealing her heart.
