Revenge is a diamond best served cold.
A year after THE STEAL, Ania Throne is determined to take back what
the Leopard stole from her. Together with her lover and partner, Jerome,
she stages a spectacular heist during the Venetian Carnival, to lure out
the treacherous mastermind they unmasked. She's willing to risk it
all--until her revenge takes a dangerous twist that could cost her what
she loves the most.
Jerome Curtis has given up everything for Ania. She needs his help and
he's fallen head over heels for the world's most eligible jewelry
designer. But when their daring scheme to catch the thief who escaped
turns on them, he's targeted for a crime he never wanted to commit--and
he has to find a way out fast.
From a glamorous costume gala to the winter canals of Venice, Ania and
Jerome must confront the choices they've made and bait a new trap to
catch the Leopard, before the Leopard springs his trap on them. This
time, the stakes are personal, but with more than diamonds on the line,
can they escape the bait or will it separate them forever?
The second novella in To Catch A Leopard, THE BAIT is a nail-biting
romantic caper by bestselling authors C.W. Gortner and M.J. Rose.
