Sierra Valen
Sierra Valen writes the kind of romance where the leads end the day bleeding, broke, jet-lagged, and three inches from kissing on the roof of a moving train. Think Indiana Jones meets Die Hard: stolen masterpieces, ancient maps, jungle survival, and chase scenes through cities you've already started Googling. Her heroines are dangerously competent; her heroes are quietly furious about it. Together they steal, scheme, run, and occasionally save the world — usually while still arguing about who's driving. She writes the kind of romance she'd want to read on a long flight to somewhere she's not allowed to go back to.
Art of Betrayal
Book 2 of 2: Art of Deception
Romantic SuspenseThe forgery is perfect. That's the problem. Adrienne Lawson tracked nine stolen masterpieces across four countries. She matched the brushwork, traced the materials, identified a single forger with Italian training. She's three months into a partnership with a reformed art thief who knows the underground world she doesn't. The case is closing. Then Nico Marchetti sees something in the forgery that isn't in any file. Something personal. Something he won't explain. The forger is smarter than anyone Adrienne has chased. Connected to Nico's past in ways he's not ready to admit. And the closer Adrienne gets to the truth, the more it looks like the man she trusted with her career, her case, and the parts of herself she doesn't let anyone see has been keeping the one secret that could destroy both. From London galleries to Florence back alleys to a private island in the Aegean, Adrienne is running out of evidence, running out of time, and running out of reasons to believe that love and honesty live in the same person. A lost Caravaggio. A secret that goes deeper than crime. And a partnership that might not survive what it costs to close the case. Art of Betrayal is the second book in the Art of Deception series. Established couple, globe-trotting art crime, and banter that doesn't stop when things get dangerous. HFN.

Art of Deception
Book 1 of 2: Art of Deception
Romantic SuspenseThree years ago, she put the most elegant art thief of the decade behind bars. Now a priceless Rembrandt has vanished, the security footage points straight at him, and the FBI wants them both. The deal? Work together or face charges. She doesn't need a partner. She especially doesn't need one who smiles like he already knows the punchline of every conversation they're going to have. But someone from Nico's past is framing them both, and every lead pulls them deeper into the underground art world — illegal auctions, old betrayals, and a ghost who wants revenge on them both. One Rembrandt. Twelve chapters. And a man she swore she'd never speak to again, sitting in the seat beside her with that infuriating, knowing quiet that always meant trouble. She put him behind bars. Now he's the only man who can save her — and if he gets her killed, she's going to kill him first.
