"A breathless adventure both starry-eyed and cool-blooded, both charming and diabolical." —A.J. FINN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
"Crackling with full-throttle tension . . . An electrifying novel." —ROBERT CRAIS, author of the bestselling Elvis Cole novels
An epic Vegas heist.
A high-octane international romance.
A charismatic thief forced to orchestrate one final, treacherous job to save his family.
When Alex Cassidy and Diane Alison meet at a party in Princeton, New Jersey, the chemistry between them is instant and undeniable. She's a single mother, local fixture, and owner of a successful catering company. He's a single father and weekend homeowner — and leader of an armed-robbery crew that just pulled off a record-breaking, precision jewel heist in Las Vegas. Neither one realizes that their lives have overlapped before, and that the shared history they uncover will threaten everyone they love.
Swept up in their burgeoning relationship, Diane joins Alex at his beach house in Tulum, where Alex decides to leave his life of crime behind. It begins as a postcard-perfect weekend until an entanglement with a powerful cartel forces Alex to mastermind one final and unthinkably dangerous job. What ensues is an explosive, adrenaline-soaked journey through the moneyed landscapes of Mexico and Europe, where ghosts from the past collide with unexpected perils in the present. As Alex and Diane fight for their lives, they discover that they're not the only ones with secrets—and that those closest to us pose the greatest danger of all.
Propulsive, deeply suspenseful, and layered with mesmerizing twists, Love and Theft is a sophisticated thriller about the illusion of control and the high price of past transgressions.

      Parish’s solid page-turner, a loose sequel to 2014’s Down the Shore, centers on a New Jersey single mother, Diane Alison, whose grown son, Tom, was the previous novel’s protagonist. Diane knows that Clay, Tom’s father, was involved in illegal activities before he died decades earlier, but she learns more about Clay’s past after meeting the charismatic Alex Cassidy, who turns out to have once worked with Clay. The two are instantly attracted to each other, and Diane ends up agreeing to spend a weekend at Alex’s beach house in Mexico. She’s stunned when Alex reveals that he was the mastermind behind a recent $22 million jewel heist in Vegas, but—in large part because of his feelings toward Alison—he vows to quit the business forever. Before Alison can decide whether she wants to continue the relationship, Tom and Alex’s adult daughter, Paolo, who are lovers, are kidnapped, and Alex is forced to complete one more job. Well-developed characters, relentless pacing, palpable levels of tension throughout, and a notable closing twist make this a winner. Parish is a thriller writer to watch. Agent: Julie Barer, Book Group.
