It Takes a Thief

From New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper comes the story of a gambler who's not all he seems-and the woman who teaches him what it means to risk everything.   Jennifer Chantry's life was upended when her father lost their family plantation, Belle Retour, in a foolish bet. And now that he's passed away, Jennifer vows to reclaim what's hers. Falling for a gambler-especially given her father's weakness-wasn't supposed to be in the cards.
But the dashing, dark-eyed hustler who rolls into town for a high-stakes poker game awakens Jennifer's deepest desires, even before he offers his services in a bold plan to win back her home.   Dane Prescott isn't a professional gambler-he's a federal agent investigating rumors surrounding the scoundrel who swindled an innocent family out of Belle Retour. Used to going deep undercover, Dane knows how to play with other people's money.
But when he teams up with the blond beauty bent on revenge, he learns just how much he stands to lose if he can't do right by her. Now Dane will need all the tricks up his sleeve to win his biggest score yet: Jennifer's wounded heart.   Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
