Perito Criminal

Betrayed, abandoned, and branded a criminal, Adrian Kane lost everything, the empire he commanded, the woman he loved, and the very name that once struck fear and respect across nations. For three years, he rotted behind prison walls, shunned even by Elena Frost, the wife who turned her back on him. But the man the world condemned is no ordinary outcast.

Now released, he reemerges into a world that no longer recognizes him. Enemies circle in the shadows. Old allies question his loyalty. And Elena, the woman who once shattered his heart, stands torn between the lies she believed and the truth bleeding before her eyes. As assassins strike and secrets ignite in fire and blood, Adrian is thrust into a war that will either reclaim his honor or consume him whole. But in this battlefield of betrayal and desire, Elena becomes more than his weakness, she is his greatest vulnerability. And when a masked enemy steps from the shadows, exposing Adrian’s true identity in the most brutal way possible, one question burns hotter than the flames surrounding them: Can a man who’s already lost everything protect the one woman he cannot let go, or will she become the weapon that finally destroys him?

In the city of New Avalon, where a fascia of riches hides dishonesty and backstabbing, a rebellious group of thieves sets their sights on the impenetrable vault of wealthy Victor Crane. It's said to hold a vast treasure of valuable gems. The team is headed by Jax "The Ghost" Malone, a likeable former criminal with a talent for pulling off unbelievable robberies. His crew consists of: Lena Voss, a technological whiz; Marcus "Bear" Tate, a powerful strongman; and Evie Quinn, a deceptive swindler. They come up with a bold scheme: to put a tiny camera on Crane's jacket to discover the vault's secrets, copy his fingerprint, and imitate the voice of his business partner, Sophia Laurent. As they get closer to Crane, visiting places like his expensive dry cleaners and personal gym, the team learns that the vault has a two-part security system.
