Rough Edges
By Emma Sinclair
She’ll steal his heart to get to the diamond
The Staffordshire diamond is sixty carats of pure perfection. Not only is it a stunning treasure on display for others to admire, it’s a priceless keepsake that’s been in Anastasia Staffordshire’s family for generations. But sentimentality means nothing to her corrupt cousin Leonard. He plans to sell the jewel. And Anastasia plans to take it back.
There’s only one thing standing in her way—bodyguard Jake Hoffman. Family friend and Anastasia’s longtime crush. Seducing the diamond out from under Jake is no hardship, but one night in his arms leaves Anastasia rethinking her heist.
Torn between love and family, Anastasia must decide if being with Jake is worth saying goodbye to a priceless heirloom. And she needs to make the decision fast, before they’re both caught red-handed.
