Teaser:

There is a loud thud behind me as I adjust my feet on the wooden beam below. The beam groans as I twist slightly to look at the man behind me and give him a dirty look.

"You're late Tilt," I growl, before reaching into my pockets to search for my trusty lock-picking kit. My hands brush against the small bag's velvet material before I pull it out and toss it to my friend to hold.

"Sorry, those damn guards gave me a hard time to get up here without being seen... how'd you do it so quickly?" he asks.

A small grin appears on my lips as I pull a pair of black leather gloves over my fingers and prepare myself to leap from the fifteen-foot high beam. "You forget that I'm England's best jewel thief," I say with a laugh.

"No, I'm the one who damn taught you, so I'm the best."

I roll my eyes and glance back at my friend, smiling at how ruffled his curly auburn hair looks, before wiping away my smile to give him a serious look. "You remember what to do right?" I ask, reaching over to give his hand a squeeze.

He takes it and draws it up to his lips, planting a swift kiss on the back of my glove. "Always, my love. Just... stay safe, yes?" His blue eyes are bright with excitement, but I don't miss the hint of worry within them.

I jerk my hand away from his and roll my eyes again. "Yeah, yeah. You're worse than a mother hen. Now get going!"

Tilt grins and blows me a kiss, before shimmying across the beam and swinging into The Tower of London's security room. I slowly stretch out my right leg as I balance on the beam, the idea of what Tilt and I are doing finally occurring to me.

We're actually going to steal the crown jewels of England? I draw in my leg and stretch out the other, squeezing my gloved hands in fists. I'll finally have enough money to find my sister between selling the Mona Lisa and these jewels, and Tilt and I can finally get a place together.

That very thought gives me a boost of hope as the lights in the tower shut off. Wow, Tilt shut them off quickly, that has to be one of his new records. I think as my heart lurches in anticipation. I prepare myself for the jump from the beam to the crown jewel's encasing, but just as I leap the lights turn back on and I see a familiar group of men walk into the room out of the corner of my eye.

The back of my right shoulder and the floor connect harshly as I tuck into a roll to absorb the impact, and hide behind the back of the glass structure. I quickly peak out to see that I recognize the man leading the pack, fingers of dread crawling up my spine as I take in his long black hair and grey eyes.

It can't be Drake, how'd he find us so quickly?!

I duck back behind the encasing when his cloudy eyes meet mine, and fumble with the walkie-talkie in my jacket pocket.

Drake Klide is one of the most infamous criminals in the world. He has bombed several sites, kidnapped people to use as hostages, and killed many innocent people... the man is a walking threat.

Ever since I stole the Mona Lisa three months ago, and haven't been traced back to it... he's been after me. I have no idea how he knows I was the one who stole it, but he made me an offer to join his team because of his admiration for my skill. Of course, I refused. Just because I'm a thief doesn't mean I'm okay with hurting innocent people, so I told him I would never join him while he still took pride in his murders.

But now he's not after me, but after something worse.

He's looking for a way to force me into joining his team.

I move into a defense-ready squat behind the jewel's casing and finally draw out my walkie-talkie. I hurriedly switch it on and hold it up to my mouth. "Tilt? Tilt, you have to get out of here now! Drake and his gang are here... they're coming for you!"

My heart sinks as a silent static comes across over the line. Please let him be okay, please, please, please.

Suddenly a hand grips my shoulder and yanks me from my hiding place as I come face to face with Drake. He gives me a large grin as his eyes rove over my body, before looking into my eyes.

"Hello, Raven, did you miss me?"

Let me know what you think of the cover, description, and if you're pumped for the book to come out! I don't know the exact date of when I'll be releasing it, but most likely around Sep. 21... don't quote me on that, because you all know how spontaneous and indecisive I can be 😂.
