How to Shield an Assassin

Book excerpt: It's not stealing if you're stealing it back....Ari had a game plan for life. Shoot people. Get money. Hang out with fellow criminal friends. He saw absolutely no reason to change that plan until one dark night in Memphis, when a little girl reached out to him with pocket change and a desperate plea for him to help her. Adopting an abused little girl off the streets was, needless to say, not part of the plan. Ari had no idea what he was doing with an eight year old. He especially didn't know how to juggle taking contracts and raising a little girl. Things get more complicated when the mercenary, Carter Harrison, approaches him with a job. He needs Ari's expertise to get into the very high-security museum, Knowles, and steal back Monet's Water Lily Pond. The job isn't an easy one. He'd need more than the two of them to make it happen. It's further complicated because Ari's not sure what to do with his new daughter while working this job. And for that matter, how's he supposed to handle the sexy mercenary?
