The Professional by Laine Stockton

Alex Flynn is not a bodyguard. He can’t be. Nobody in their right mind would hire a wise-cracking, arrogant, utterly irresponsible (but totally gorgeous) jerk to protect their life and limb. No, Flynn has a secret, and if it has anything to do with my royal mother’s inability to keep her nose out of my business, he’s going to have to protect himself from me.
Cora sniffed me out immediately. I’ve never worked a real job in my life, much less as a boot-licking bullet blocker for a snotty princess. But does she know that I’m a legend in my field, the most notorious thief to ever run the rooftops of Manhattan? Does she know how stupid her mother is to bring their family’s prized crown to New York, out from the safety of the Athea Palace vaults?
I should be making a plan.
I should be watching my back for my rival.
I should be preparing for the most important job of my life.
What I shouldn’t be doing is aggravating the one person that could get me kicked out of her idiotically luxurious Midtown manor. But I can’t seem to help myself. Tormenting her is too much fun.
