The Maverick — Grace Jelsnik

Book 4: Acrasia and Michael. Acrasia fights to keep her father alive, stealing and lying to purchase his expensive medication. Showing the world two faces -- the gentle, loving daughter and the cynical, toughened criminal -- she challenges anyone to stand in her way when it comes to her father's well-being. When Michael touches Acrasia's hand, he knows she is for him, and he feels cheated. Nevertheless, he can think of nothing but her, and the more he fights his fate, the more he realizes there could be fates worse than a lifetime with Acrasia, such as a lifetime without her. Now he needs to convince her that the contents of the dust-coated leather tote in her father's closet make her his.
