Publisher Description

This standalone adult romantasy novella is a must read for fans looking for a fast-paced romantasy with heart-pounding adventure, enemies to lovers tension, forced proximity and forbidden attraction.

An uncatchable thief. A relentless sheriff. The chase was inevitable… but falling for each other was not.

Zula, the notorious Blue-Feathered Bard, lives for the thrill of her heists, heedless of the consequences. Her latest job—pilfering priceless treasures from a peaceful troll village—could spark a kingdom-wide conflict, making it her riskiest venture yet. Brimming with confidence, she anticipates nothing but success. What she doesn't expect is Neo.

Neo, the kingdom's sheriff, is determined to bring Zula—an uncatchable thief armed with a magical ukulele—to justice. With a secret weapon at his disposal and a growing infatuation with the cunning thief, his duty has never been more challenging.

When a chance encounter brings them together, stirring unexpected emotions, a thrilling chase begins. Both determined to achieve their goals, neither expects their hearts to be caught in the crossfire. Will Zula execute one final, daring escape, or will Neo's love prove to be the ultimate snare?

Tempting Thieves is a diverse multi-author romantasy collection featuring cunning thieves who outsmart relentless hunters, steal forbidden treasures, and find love along the way. With enemies-to-lovers tension, slow-burn longing, forced proximity, secret identities, only one bed, and grumpy/sunshine dynamics, every story delivers an irresistible fantasy escape. Perfect for fans of forbidden romance, morally gray heroes, daring rogues, and clean yet sizzling chemistry. Each book in the collection is a standalone. Read in any order.
