The dramatic, hilarious stand-alone sequel to The Artist and Her Thief, The Damsel and Her Villain follows Betty, Nash’s sister, as she faces dangerous enemies, deadly twists, and a world far darker than she ever imagined, all while falling hopelessly in love with the one man she should never trust.
Grayson lives in the shadows. Keeping to himself has kept him alive, but it has also left him painfully alone.
Hunted by the mafia family that wants him dead, Gray works in secret to dismantle New York’s organized crime world piece by piece.
His life is controlled, isolated, and driven by one mission, until he meets Betty Beaumont.
Betty Beaumont is a spirited art restoration specialist at her father’s prestigious New York auction house, Beaumont Auctions and Antiquities—but by night, she moonlights as an art thief.
When she is tasked with stealing back a priceless work taken by the mafia, her mission leads her straight to Gray, a mysterious recluse who is as clever and dangerous as he is irresistibly charming.
What begins as a single heist quickly spirals into something far more dangerous.
With the mafia on their trail, Betty and Gray are forced into a deadly game of cat and mouse through a world of secrets, betrayal, and violence.
As the danger closes in, so does the undeniable attraction between them.
. . . But falling in love may prove just as perilous as the enemies hunting them.
