Hoodwinked Hearts by Ainslie Paton
Ten years ago, master thief Cleve Jones risked his freedom to fall in love with a dangerously sexy professor's daughter only to watch her disappear. Now Vegas hustler Aria Harp is back-and she's snatched the famous diamond Cleve's been casing. Aria's too smart to let Cleve break her heart, but he'll do anything to keep her safe. Even if it means a dirty double cross and losing the only woman he's ever loved-all over again.
Rough Edges by Emma Sinclair

Strange Tango by Michelle Dayton
Diamonds are a thief's best friend, and Adam Patrick Henry, professional jewel thief, knows diamonds. When he sees an amateur thief with impressive sleight-of-hand skills trying to work a con, he figures he could use a partner. And if that partner is irresistible, all the better. But Jessica Hughes is no thief, not really, and teaming up with Adam to work one big job could be more dangerous than it's worth.

Ainslie Paton always wanted to write stories to make people smile, but the need to eat, accumulate books, and have bedclthes to read under was ever present. She sold out, and worked as a flack, a suit, and a creative, ghosting for business leaders, rebel rousers, and politicians, and making words happen for companies, governments, causes, conditions, high-profile CEOs, low-profile celebs, and the occasional misguided royal. She still does that. She also writes for love.
