Blackmailed during a routine job in Rome, Leigh has no choice but to partner with a charming safe cracker and his protective crew. Together, they navigate danger-and unexpected desire-in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse.
I have two weeks in Rome for a custom vault repair and three goals: celebrate leaving my control-freak boyfriend, find the adventure of a lifetime, and fall head over heels for a charming Italian. At my wealthy client's villa, I cross paths with Declan, a talented locksmith with swagger to spare and a cocky grin that makes my shy-girl heart race.
Declan's tales of outsmarting security systems and cracking safes make me question who he really is. So when he and his team enlist me to help test the security of a safe deposit box company, I'm sure it's the adventure I've been craving. As I'm thrust into a world of high-tech security and intrigue, Declan shows me a version of myself I never knew existed-one that's confident and capable, despite being utterly out of her element.
But our simple security test spirals into a labyrinth of blackmail and kidnapping, and I'm forced to stick close to Declan for protection. As I'm pulled deeper into his world and toward whispers of a vault hidden deep in the Roman Catacombs, I'm faced with an impossible choice. Either I embrace this daring new version of myself and risk my freedom at Declan's side, or I run for safety, leaving my dreams-and possibly my heart-behind.
The Eagle's Vault is the second installment in the Reynolds Recoveries romantic suspense series, about the members of a heist crew who return stolen items to their rightful owners.
