Stolen Hunger — Piper Fox

The vampire Orpheus can't wait to check out Coco Lau's gallery, especially since the main attraction is his irreplaceable artifact, one she stole right out from under his nose.

This thief prefers to think of herself as an art liberator -- a great art liberator. But her last heist backfired, and the results are devastating… with a devastatingly handsome Orpheus on her trail.

Vexxed by his inability to influence her and entranced by her raw sensuality, Orpheus vows to crack Coco's secrets. Threatening to expose her thievery and forgeries. The indomitable Coco calls his bluff, unwilling to give in. But Orpheus refuses to give up. Not when he realizes she's his fated mate.

Getting Coco to accept a vampire as her mate will be one tough sell, even for someone who peddles in risk for a living.

As if wooing the art liberator isn't challenging enough, the witch Belladonna Hearthfire throws them both a curveball.

Now the vampire and the thief have no choice but to accept their fated bond and work together to set things right.
