If You Dare
By Adrianne
Byrd
Known in France
as Lé Fantôme, Damien Black was a master art thief.
He never left any evidence behind, so he was never captured. Now,
at the age of thirty-six, he was retired. As a multimillionaire
businessman, he lived a good life in Atlanta.
Then, an old friend that he'd worked for
before called him. Sean Lafonte wanted Damien to pull one more job.
A new collection was coming into the Atlanta High Museum, and Lafonte
wanted Damien Black to steal it. But Damien wasn't sure he wanted
to come out of retirement. It had been a while since he pulled a
robbery. Now, he was not sure he wanted to risk it all for just
the excitement of one more job.
Damien went to the Museum to case the place
in the event he decided to take the job. It was there he met Angel.
She was beautiful, intelligent, everything he wanted in a woman.
But she was also the new art director for the Museum. Damien stole
her cell phone and gave her his. For a while, it was a standoff
to see which one would call the other first. Angel finally gave
in. Thus began their romance. Both of them fell head over heels
in love. They were happier with each other than they'd ever been
in their lives.
In the meantime, the French police
lieutenant who had been pursuing Damien Black had retired and come
to the United States convinced that he would catch Black in the
act. This only added to Damien's stress over the new job.
If You Dare never lets you
put it down. In spite of the overdone sex scenes, the book is a
story of true love and its power to change people. If you like romance
and suspense, this is your book.
