Cillian by Kate Randall

I never imagined that an alluring thief would turn my carefully constructed world upside down. Or that I would like it.

I’m no thief with a heart of gold. I steal from the rich and give to myself to make ends meet. One day I’ll have enough to get the hell out of New Orleans to start fresh, away from the memories of everything I’ve lost.
I should have known the first time I laid eyes on the dark-haired man in a custom suit, he was more than just another mark. But I didn’t.
I should have walked away that night and never thought about him again. But I didn’t.
When I discovered he has ties to the one person I hate for taking everything from me, maybe I shouldn’t have run.
But I did.

Cillian
Our enemies are six feet under, and Boston is ours.
At least that’s what we thought.
A rival organization has decided to pick up where they left off, and I refuse to watch it happen again. They think our rules don’t apply to them. They’re dead wrong.
Now, I’m in New Orleans to find them, and cut them off at the knees.
Everything is going according to plan. Until I stumble into a stunning pickpocket whose smart mouth and quick wit charms me from the moment she opens her red-painted lips.
I should have left that night and never given her a second thought. But I didn’t.
I should have put her captivating green eyes out of my mind and focused on taking down another deadly criminal organization. But I didn’t.
Then she ran, and I told myself I’d never see her again. But I did.
When she crashes back into my life, I should walk away.
But I can’t.
They found her. They know who she is.
And now they’ll pay for ever thinking they can touch what’s mine.
