Summary

Harry Booth started stealing at nine to keep a roof over his ailing mother’s head, slipping into luxurious, empty homes at night to find items he could trade for precious cash。 When his mother finally succumbed to cancer, he left Chicago—but kept up his nightwork。

Wandering from the Outer Banks to Savannah to New Orleans, he dons new identities and stays careful, observant, distant。 He can’t afford to attract attention—or get attached。 Still, he can’t help letting his guard down when he meets Miranda Emerson。 But the powerful bond between them cannot last—because not all thieves follow Harry’s code of honor。 Some pay others to take risks so they can hoard more treasures。 Some are driven by a desire to own people the way they own paintings and jewels。 And after Harry takes a lucrative job commissioned by Carter LaPorte, LaPorte sees a tool he can use, and decides he wants to own Harry。

The man is a predator more frightening than the alligators that haunt the bayou—and when he strongarms Harry into robbing a Baltimore museum, Harry abandons Miranda—cruelly, with no explanation—and disappears。 But no matter what name he uses or where he goes, LaPorte casts a shadow over Harry’s life。 To truly free himself, he must face down his enemy once and for all。 Only then can he hope to possess something more valuable than anything he has ever stolen…

This novel is a little unusual for a Nora Roberts book, the main character is a very interesting man。 From the age of nine, he meticulously learned how he could do “NightWork” better known as a thief, to keep his family safe。 His Mom needed medical care that was outrageously expensive, they needed food, clothing and a mortgage。 His aunt Mags never left his Mom’s side through all her remission and set backs。 Harry Booth was a man with many names and disguises making a very good living。 When his M This novel is a little unusual for a Nora Roberts book, the main character is a very interesting man。 From the age of nine, he meticulously learned how he could do “NightWork” better known as a thief, to keep his family safe。 His Mom needed medical care that was outrageously expensive, they needed food, clothing and a mortgage。 His aunt Mags never left his Mom’s side through all her remission and set backs。 Harry Booth was a man with many names and disguises making a very good living。 When his Mom passed away he just wanted to get his aunt Mags settled and he would start on his own life。 He wanted to travel, go to school, and learn about everything。 His Nightwork made it possible。 He lived a life of luxury, learning languages, gourmet cooking and fine tuning his passion for stealing。 Everything was normal, until he fell in love with a beautiful red head named Miranda, and his life is changed forever。 Suddenly he’s faced with a dangerous decision, to keep Miranda, her family and Mags out of danger he had to disappear……without a word or a trace。 This novel had twists and turns, hold your breath moments, and sweet romance。 Nora Roberts will always be an auto buy for me。 。。。more

Started slowly but like all of her books it was great。

Nurse Lisa In Ohio (PRN Book Reviews)

4/5 stars…not quite what I anticipated, but as always with Ms Roberts, we get a well told, fascinating, fast-moving story that keeps one glued to the pages!

Kimberly Sands

very disappointingDerivative of an older NR plot line much better executed in Honest Illusions。 This is tedious, under-developed, with plot holes you could drive a truck through。 Very disappointing as I have previously enjoyed her books。

Linda Kaban

Hands down one of the best Nora Roberts books I've read in years。 Very unique plot。 Fantastic characters; both primary and secondary。 Perfect resolution to a very sticky situation。 Hands down one of the best Nora Roberts books I've read in years。 Very unique plot。 Fantastic characters; both primary and secondary。 Perfect resolution to a very sticky situation。 。。。more

Nightwork by Nora Roberts。When he was nine, and his mother had her first deadly dance with cancer, Harry became a thief。 Someone had to find food and pay the mortgage even if his mother was too sick to work。 When his mother finally succumbs to cancer, Harry leaves Chicago but somehow he can't quite leave all of his past behind。A really really enjoyable read。 Great story。 I did like the cover。 4*。 Nightwork by Nora Roberts。When he was nine, and his mother had her first deadly dance with cancer, Harry became a thief。 Someone had to find food and pay the mortgage even if his mother was too sick to work。 When his mother finally succumbs to cancer, Harry leaves Chicago but somehow he can't quite leave all of his past behind。A really really enjoyable read。 Great story。 I did like the cover。 4*。 。。。more

Totally different to her other books but very clever and enthralling - I couldn’t put it down!

Cathie McManus

Good endingIt took me far too long to get into this story。 The third part was a great part。 I was kind of disappointed at the begin。 In the end, it was a good read。 I loved how Harry changed himself to stay ahead of LaPorte。 The first 1 and half the second part were repetitive to me。

Brilliant。 Absolutely brilliant。

This was so good! What a mind blowing story! A couple of favorite quotes I liked a lot were:“I think you just have to know how to tell a story your way。” And, “I could go a little wild and squirt some cheese wiz on some crackers。” Loved it! Nora is the most witty for coming up with comments like that one。 And she really puts her heart into her stories and I just love reading her books!! Hope you enjoy it! Happy reading!

Love this book, love Nora Roberts。 Harry's character grabbed me from the beginning。 He was such a good person with a good heart that everything else he worked at didn't matter。 I always read a new Nora Roberts novel first no matter what I am reading。 Love this book, love Nora Roberts。 Harry's character grabbed me from the beginning。 He was such a good person with a good heart that everything else he worked at didn't matter。 I always read a new Nora Roberts novel first no matter what I am reading。 。。。more

I liked it…。 But it was missing something。 It just didn’t have the。。 fire? Of some previous Nora Robert’s books? I felt like it was all too easy in the end and the plot wrapped up too neatly。 But it was。。 ok。 🤷🏾‍♀️

My All-Time Favorite!Of all the books she's written, in any name, this one checks all the boxes for me。 It kept me guessing, and laughing and up way too late because I just didn't want to stop reading it through the very last page。 An unqualified triumph!

Nora Roberts writes "3 read books"NR always writes a "3 read" book 。 The first is the fastest to see what happens next。 The second read is for the characters' development and the dialog。 The third read is for the descriptive development and to see if I can find any English or grammatical errors that were missed。 My favorite author🙂 Nora Roberts writes "3 read books"NR always writes a "3 read" book 。 The first is the fastest to see what happens next。 The second read is for the characters' development and the dialog。 The third read is for the descriptive development and to see if I can find any English or grammatical errors that were missed。 My favorite author🙂 。。。more

Nora is one of my one click authors, but sometimes even she gets it wrong。 This one focuses too much on a character I couldn't find a connection with and moves too slowly in the beginning。 I'd just get engaged in something and then the book would skip forward, which was a little frustrating。 It does pick up about halfway through the book, but I think this is just one where I didn't click with the characters or plot。 Nora is one of my one click authors, but sometimes even she gets it wrong。 This one focuses too much on a character I couldn't find a connection with and moves too slowly in the beginning。 I'd just get engaged in something and then the book would skip forward, which was a little frustrating。 It does pick up about halfway through the book, but I think this is just one where I didn't click with the characters or plot。 。。。more
