Under cover of night, the tightrope-walking thief puts her skills to good use-until her aerial stunt is foiled when her target appears in the window and, with consummate poise, helps Marianne off the wire and into his lair. The tremors that run through her body are not just from fear; there's an unwanted frisson of desire there, too. But is it because of her elegant, wickedly handsome host . . . or his proposition? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNicolas Valette has had plans for his graceful trespasser since he witnessed her unique skills at the Cirque Olympique. Sinuous as a cat, Marianne is perfect for his next mission, but she refuses his generous offer for fear of disobeying her family's tormenter. When their mutual enemy auctions off her virginity to the highest bidder, Nicolas leaps at the chance to purchase her cooperation. Keeping her will be like trying to tame a wild animal, but what's life without a little risk? Besides, Nicolas and Marianne both want the same thing: revenge-and, perhaps, something else that's equally delicious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for \u003cem\u003eTo Steal a Heart\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eTo Steal a Heart \u003c\/em\u003eis rich with espionage and suspense.
