Reformed thief Helix Rossington needs to find his little brother.

Finally free of the blackmailing monster who forced him into a life of crime, Helix is ready for a fresh start. A better life.

Unfortunately, making amends for past wrongs and locating his brother means stealing…again.

To make matters worse, he must work with ex-cop Gareth Jones. Not that the man is hard on the eyes, but he was in law enforcement and Helix doesn’t trust them.

Gareth has lost everything. But helping this band of reformed thieves promises to give him a new purpose in life.

If only he didn’t have to work with Helix. The man is hot as hell but a real pain in the ass. Still, his drive to find his lost brother has left Gareth wondering if he’d misjudged the man.

When this simple job goes wrong, Helix and Gareth are left clinging to each other, struggling to deal with new feelings neither thought possible. But are both men too damaged to take a chance on each other?

Rising Storm is the second book in the Thick As Thieves series and contains thieves seeking redemption, enemies to lovers, stealing antics, hot smexy times, and a deep love neither man expected.

About the Author

I love unusual stories and credit growing up in a family of curious life-lovers who moved all over the country. Books and movies full of fantasy, science fiction and romance kept me amused, especially in some of the stranger places. For years, I tried to separate my darker side with my humorous and romantic one. I published short fiction, but things really started happening when I gave in and mixed it up. When not lost in fiction, I love making wine, collecting music, gaming and spending time with my husband and two children. I write in many genres, always with a love story in the mix. Those love stories can be M/F, M/M, or M/M/F. I tend to read more M/M than anything else and am mostly writing that these days. I also co-author MM romantic suspense with Jocelynn Drake.

Summary: A linguistic genius, Portia Sebring is recruited to decipher Russian codes for the Venona Project. While at Arlington Hall, she meets Nigel Mann, a CIA officer known as Mr. Freeze. Portia’s father is behind the meeting. Rumor has it she’s a lesbian, and in the late ’50s, her sexuality could negate any veracity to the codes she deciphers. A match with an equally cold man who won’t distract her from her work seems the ideal solution. But Portia and Nigel develop strong feelings for each other and marry to start a family. However, the lifetime together they anticipate is cut short when Nigel’s jet crashes. Devastated, but with a young son depending on her, Portia has no choice but to go on after Nigel’s death. Her son Quinton joins the US Equestrian Team for the 1980 Summer Olympics, but doesn’t compete due to the government’s boycott of the Games. To distract him, Portia takes him to France, and it’s there that Quinton first feels an attraction for someone of his own sex. Since Portia herself had a same-sex affair in her early twenties, she’s very accepting of this. Along with her trusted bodyguard Gregor, she watches as Quinton finds a career in the intelligence community, following in her footsteps, and also finds a partner worthy of his love. She’s happy for her son, but sure that she won’t love again, since Sebrings have their “one” and she's lost hers. But is she right?
