When my best friend’s kidnapped, I’ll do anything to rescue him—including team up with his sister for the heist of a lifetime.

I’m on this job for one reason: to rescue the only man who’s ever had my back. But his sister’s a variable I wasn’t ready for.

Scarlett’s clever, stunning, and sasses me at every turn. She’s not just a recovery agent—she’s a pretty challenge.

And she’s been busting my balls from the day we met.

Every sharp comeback and daring move of hers sets my blood on fire. But it’s the moments when I see her genuine fear for her brother’s safety that get me.

Suddenly, emotions I’ve avoided my entire life bubble up—ones I can’t quite ignore. Not anymore.

With time running out and a faceless enemy nipping at our heels, I’m staring down an unexpected realization. After we finish the mission, I’d planned on one night with Scarlett, then disappearing as I always do.

But the longer we work together, the less I want to walk away. The more I’m considering risking it all on a real partnership—and a life with her.

The San Marco Heist is the exhilarating first installment in the completed Reynolds Recoveries romantic suspense series, following a heist crew that returns stolen items to their rightful owners.
