Lawful Escort is about Sabrina, a young attorney who fills in for her roommate one evening because Holly is too sick to go to work. Sabrina hasn't been on a date, much less had sex, in years. But Holly has the answer, pretend to be someone and something she isn't -- Holly, a highly paid escort -- for just one night. The rest is up to Sabrina. The client is Daniel, a very wealthy, successful, workaholic who has just broken up with his girlfriend and fired his attorney, after finding them together in bed.  He then flew from NY to San Francisco alone, and wants an escort for a business meeting he has to attend, someone to help keep the single females away, someone with no expectations.  But when "Holly" knocks on his hotel door, he is intrigued.  After an evening together, he wants more.  So he books another evening, and all goes well until they get back to his room and find his ex waiting in her nightie.  "Holly" leaves and Daniel tries to find her. But Sabrina doesn't want anything to do with the man she believes was cheating on his wife or girlfriend. The man she was falling for. Once Daniel learns what is really going on, that she is Sabrina, he realizes it will take a very different kind of plan to get her back in his life, where she belongs.Steal Me is about Olivia, who is following in her father's footsteps in the family business. And after just one more heist she can retire young.  She has been hired to steal an artifact, a  bracelet made for a Vestal Virgin from solid gold. Marcus has just bought it at auction, and is her target. She lures him away from his house, but he comes home unexpectedly and catches her breaking into his safe, and the tables turn. She is now his target.  And he plans to punish her.I enjoyed this pairing for the book Escorts and Thieves.  Tina Folsom is one of my favorite authors, especially the Scanguards series. These stories are much more light hearted, but are entertaining and a great break from heavier fare.
