⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The Kiss Thief (stand-alone). Senator Wolfe Keaton stole a kiss, he stole her everything, or did he?!

“All I could do was hope for his mercy. I felt safe, but not secure. Desired, but unwanted. Admired, but unloved.”

The Kiss Thief (stand-alone) opens up to the mapped-out-life of nineteen-year-old mob princess Francesca Rossi aka Nemesis. While attending a dinner she is mocked by senator and heir Wolfe Keaton aka Villain. A stolen kiss later and she finds herself engaged to the infuriating senator and thrown into a game of power and a quest for revenge.

“You’re a collected debt, a retaliation, and, quite frankly, pretty decent arm candy. Good night, Miss Rossi.”

Told from dual POVs it’s an enemies-to-lovers, May-December romance set in the mob world. Though it may come across as a triangle, to me there was never any doubt that Wolfe could be the only hero. He’s ruthless, cunning, aloof, mysterious, blunt yet possessive. He manipulated every situation while the truth behind his contempt for the young heiress is slowly revealed.

Spectacular! Seductive! Sex-on-a-stick hero! A glued-to-your-kindle read!

“We were entwined and entangled, connected with invisible strings, each of us trying to pull away, only to create more knots that made us closer.”

L.J. Shen
“With Angelo, I felt warm and fuzzy. Under a rich blanket of security. With Wolfe, I felt as if I was on fire. As though he could end me at any given moment, and all I could do was hope for his mercy. I felt safe, but not secure. Desired, but unwanted. Admired, but unloved.”
L.J. Shen, The Kiss Thief

“Wretchedly gorgeous. Wickedly innocent. Irrevocably mine. Our hearts were tarnished. Stained. And guilty.
Unpredictable to a fault.
And bound to break.”
