Naomi Stone is a woman of action who takes risks others would run from. While building a global empire that helps nongovernmental organizations, she’s always looking for opportunities to expand her horizon, until she met him. He stole more than just her heart. Edward Gleason is a man of many talents and probably one of the greatest thieves in the world. Stealing from multinational businesses and CEOs, he’s built a name for himself within the community of gentlemen thieves. Together with his literal partner in crime, Maximilian Hansen, he’s reached the pinnacle of success.

Edward Gleason has always been the best. Even as a thief. Until now. Assigned to steal the world's most famous parlor game, the Jewel Royale Chess Set, Edward's up for the challenge. He's got the perfect plan to land him the goldmine, only to come up short when the priceless work of art is stolen right from under his nose.

Edward and Naomi have been spending a lot of quality time together. So much so that Edward has found himself in a precarious place. Should he leave his life of crime to be the best man that he can be for her? If she found out what he does to make money, surely she would leave him in the dust. Ed's search for a straight job leads him to more stress and anxiety, until Max calls him up with news from one of their old dead drops. There's now a job to be had. A big job.

"There's no quitting, no turning back". With the plan in place, it was time for Edward to work his magic. The Mona Lisa could possibly be the biggest job of his lifetime and he put everything else aside to concentrate on the only that. Naomi would have to wait. Kyle would be shoved to the back of his mind. His focus was like a laser and it only had eyes for Da Vinci's beauty. Armed with Syd's chemical wonder, Edward should be able to get the Mona Lisa out safely.

When Edward committed to stealing the Mona Lisa, the last thing he expected was that he'd be helping out his old partner, Kyle, who tried to steal the precious artifact right out from underneath him. Not only does Edward find himself trying to outrun the FBI that is hot on his tail, but he also has to face the fact that Naomi knows his true identity; she could turn on him, leave him, and turn him in any minute.

There's no quitting, no turning back. Naomi was glad she'd solved the mystery of the man behind the façade. She'd met the real Edward Gleason, but it didn't make her feel better. In fact, she felt worse, because the threat of him loomed, bigger than ever. I do what I have to do to survive. I can't change that. With startling clarity, she realizes if Edward continued, there was only one of two ways it could end. He'd end up in prison...or a body bag.
