About the Book
Lady Enigma is a successful cat burglar who won’t take crap from anyone. Even when thugs try to steal her most recent find after an apartment complex robbery, the Lady is not threatened. She’s capable of besting them before speeding off in her luxurious Corvette. After a night of adventure, Lady Enigma decides to step into the Gemini Club for a drink—and that’s when everything changes. Enigma meets handsome, shy Phillip Sydney and feels an immediate attraction. After a bit of foreplay, she takes him back to her place to show him the art of lovemaking, Lady Enigma style. The next morning, she’s back to her usual tricks … or is she? Has this quiet young man awakened something in her—something that might make her give up her thieving ways? In the midst of her identity crisis, Lady Enigma once again encounters thug trouble. When Phillip stands up for her in a fight, Enigma suspects she’s falling for him. Will she be able to renounce the cat burglar lifestyle and tell Phillip about her true identity? More importantly, who is Phillip Sydney really, and why does she feel as though she’s met him before? Perhaps her lover has an enigma of his own …
