Publisher Description

Born poor and raised on the streets, celebrated bridge builder and billionaire, Mic Vargas is knee-deep in the construction of a trouble-plagued bridge from Manhattan to New Jersey. He really can't afford to take in a stray thief and fall in love with her. But when a beautiful, snappy-tongued, illegal immigrant literally drops at his feet, he becomes consumed with saving her and her family from poverty.


 Cat burglar, Lena Correr stopped trusting anyone long ago. Not even a rich, handsome billionaire with good intentions can break through her defenses. At least, not until an East Coast crime boss threatens her family and forces her to steal for him. Mic vows to help her and her family escape the hell they are in. But will the man Lena is coming to love succeed, or will he end up dead at the hands of an old enemy?

Surviving on the streets

An engaging read of hope, Lena is doing what she thinks is the only thing she can to keep her family safe and fed by stealing. She keeps getting deeper and deeper in trouble and gets to the point of no return. She has a hard time trusting anyone so she pushes Mic away when he tries to help. An emotional up and down rollercoaster ride. As much as I do not like someone who resorts to stealing, you can really feel the turmoil within Lena with the choices she had to make to payoff the debt they got trapped with along with just trying to stay safe. Mic is a character who feels like no one will give him the chance to be independent, his sister and friends are always looking over his shoulder to “help” him and he just wants to be able to make his own decisions. He finds Lena and he decides to reach out and help her no matter what everyone tells him. There is some corruption by someone else with the bridge he is working on building, I would have liked a little more details on what was really going on behind the scenes. A good and enjoyable read. I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed.

A great read

Cat burglar Lena Correr steals trinkets from the rich to support her illegal immigrant family, but when she crashes into Mic Vargas during a getaway, he is enthralled. Mic used to outrun the cops, too, before he lost his leg, and before he became a renowned bridge architect.

Crime boss Jax Wheeler also has his eye on Lena. He wants her nimble fingers and lithe body to steal for him and demonstrates what will happen to Lena’s mother and younger brothers by slitting his rent collector’s throat. Lena is forced to comply—until Mic shows up, offering love and promising to rescue her and her family.

Can she trust what Mic is offering? Her heart aches to, but Jax owns her. And, promises are like limbs. Easily broken.

I received an advance copy of this book and enjoyed it immensely. It’s fast-paced, full of twists and turns. I am reviewing it voluntarily and I recommend it highly.
