Dalton Moore steals for a living, and he's damn good at it. Champagne, disguises, a smooth accent that isn't his own—Dalton can talk his way into any vault in the world with a hacker partner in his ear and an exit strategy already planned. He's got one rule, though: he's a thief, not a killer.
Then Dante shows up in his living room.
Turns out Dalton's last big score cost the wrong man a fortune—and Dante doesn't forgive debts, he collects them. Now Dalton's being blackmailed into a job for Infernum, with his own life on the line and his long-missing father dangled as bait for good behavior. Dante wants something stolen, and he's not interested in hearing Dalton's rules about who he will and won't cross.
Dalton's about to learn that in Dante's world, there's no such thing as walking away clean—only walking away alive, and even that's not guaranteed. Every lock he picks, every mark he cons, pulls him deeper into a criminal empire that doesn't let go of the people it owns.
Some debts can't be repaid. They can only be survived.
Gentleman Rogue is a slick, high-stakes caper thriller full of cons, heists, and impossible choices, set in the world of the Infernum series. Fans of charming rogues, double-crosses, and stories where the mark becomes the target will find their next obsession here.
