The Scarab’s Game by Janet Oppedisano

My undercover mission is threatened when my sister’s best friend appears. With danger closing in, I’ll do anything to protect her—except confess my true identity.

I’m in Monte Carlo to recover a priceless artifact, not get tangled up in old feelings. Until I see Jenn—the art restorer I walked away from years ago—sitting with my target.
My sister warns me to keep my distance. But when someone breaks into Jenn’s hotel room, distance is no longer an option. To keep her safe, I have to keep her close. Dangerously close.
As Jenn unravels the web of lies surrounding her restoration contract, she’s pulled right into the center of my covert operation.
Right into the line of fire.
If I put the job first, I’ll show Jenn I haven’t changed. But if I put her first, and tell her the truth, it could destroy everything—my mission, my team, and any hope of a future with Jenn.
If you love the sizzling tension of a best-friend’s-sibling romance, a determined art apprentice in over her head, and a protective hero navigating the glitz and danger of Monte Carlo’s underground, you won’t be able to resist this adventure.

The Scarab’s Game is the fourth installment in the Reynolds Recoveries romantic suspense series. Each romance is a standalone, but the series is best enjoyed in order.
