Someone Somewhere by Debbie Baldwin
Miles Buchanan is a fixer. He makes the worst problems of the rich and powerful disappear. A man of many faces, Miles can become whomever he needs to be to get the job done. His life is exactly how he wants it–no emotion and no attachments. Miles doesn’t have friends; he has acquaintances. He even keeps his twin brother at arm’s length. His world is a perfect, sterile place, except for one ever-present thorn in his side.
His obsession.
Clara Gautreau.
His Bluebird.
On the surface, Clara is a bright, beautiful PhD student. The daughter of a powerful underworld kingpin, Clara leads a charmed life. Miles, however, knows the truth. Clara is a thief. And not just any thief; she is the notorious Lynx, a modern-day Robin Hood who steals back ill-gotten art and jewels and returns them to their rightful owners. Clara can break into any mansion, crack any safe; she’s uncatchable.
Until she makes a mistake.
Now, Clara is in the sights of Lucien Kite, a man with an unquenchable thirst for money and power. Miles will do anything to keep Clara safe, but she refuses to back down. Lucien Kite has taken a painting that means the world to her father. His dying wish is to have it returned.
Clara and Miles need to steal that painting.
Clara has loved Miles for as long as she can remember, but Miles Buchanan is a stone fortress she can never penetrate. After resigning herself to a strained friendship marked by pranks and arguments, Clara is shocked to discover Miles has been more involved in her life than she imagined. When Lucien Kite threatens her, Miles’s protective instincts emerge, and passions explode. Amid threats and deception, can Clara and Miles discover the real treasure that has eluded them?
