Every summer, Vicky Morales disappears into seven days of sun, lies, and beautiful crimes.

​

Alexander Brooks does the same.
Controlled, dangerous, and impossible to resist, Alex is her partner in crime and the one person who understands how much of real life is performance.

Once a year, they steal something beautiful, walk away clean, and return to their separate lives before the game becomes something neither of them can control.

​

This year’s target is the Valmont Collection, a priceless set of jewels displayed at an exclusive yacht party in Mallorca.

​

The heist should be flawless. Until a man is murdered.

​

Suddenly, their usual seven-day escape is no longer a vacation. It’s an investigation. The police are watching, the jewels are missing, and evidence begins turning up exactly where it shouldn’t.

​

Vicky thinks Alex may have set her up. Alex thinks Vicky may be hiding more than stolen jewels.

And the worst part? They know each other well enough to believe it.

Now their perfect summer game stretches past its deadline, trapping them together long after they should have walked away.

To survive, they’ll have to stay one step ahead of the police, the evidence, and each other, while keeping anyone from discovering who they really are.
But the longer they’re forced to trust each other, the more their carefully built rules start to crack.

In a world of fake alibis, stolen jewels, dangerous secrets, and impossible trust, the wrong lie could expose them.

And the wrong truth could destroy them both.

Summer Heists Don’t Count is a glamorous heist mystery with murder, stolen jewels, sharp banter, morally gray thieves, and dangerous romantic suspense.
