Books like Hot Property by Karen Leabo

He'd vowed to capture the pretty thief, but would she steal his heart instead? Detective Sergeant Michael Taggart watched as the woman passed the stolen Art Deco gems to a fence whose record was as long as her legs--and then quickly arrested her for robbing the museum! Wendy Thayer struggled in his cuffs, insisting she'd only been doing errands for an elderly client. Could this feisty redhead with the kissable mouth be as innocent as she claimed, or would her secret be enough to shatter his dreams? In a delightful tale of passionate pursuit and irresistible intrigue, Karen Leabo sends two unlikely lovers chasing after the truth--and on a journey to discover their own unspoken longings. She wanted him to see her as she truly was, but could a tough guy on a mission be hero enough to cherish a woman with a shadowy past?
