Stolen Hearts is a stand-alone sequel to Virgin Jewels.

Celeste Anderson doesn’t believe in love at first sight. She intends to marry someone with the same interests and financial aspirations, and have a neat, orderly life. But there’s something to be said for the thrill of the unknown—and when Alex enters her family jewelry store, her body decides it’s more than ready for a few thrills.

Desperate for his father’s approval, ex-jewel thief Alex Moretti reluctantly agrees to steal an antique diamond bracelet from a tiny, ill-secured shop. No problem for a pro like Alex—until he meets Celeste. Now the only thing he’s interested in stealing is her heart.

Lynda at SRR Gives Stolen Hearts a B+! "Stolen Hearts is a very quick and steamy read, which is a good thing because I didn’t want to put it down. The characters are extremely likeable and the chemistry between them is palpable which helps to keep the story moving along at a quick pace with no slow points. Stolen Hearts is a jewel of a story – and one you won’t want to miss." You can read the rest of the review here.

Melinda at Night Owl Romance Says Stolen Hearts is a Top Pick! "Karen Erickson did a beautiful job of showing how strong passion and how silly you can get when love hits you in the face. Though this can be read as a standalone there is a story before this called Virgin Jewels. That book is about her sister Hannah. Stolen Hearts is a great book and I can’t wait for more of Karen Erickson work." You can read the rest of the review here.

His presence seemed to fill the entire store, even though he didn’t move from the doorway. His face, which had been hidden before, shocked her silent, rendered her still as a statue.

He was gorgeous. Beautiful dark eyes fringed with the longest, thickest lashes, chiseled cheekbones, a strong nose, firm jaw shadowed with the faintest hint of stubble and the most sculpted lips she’d ever seen on a man. Lips that would probably feel divine pressed against her own, trailing along her neck, over her chest…

Smoothing back an imaginary hair, she ignored the rather shocking thought of his mouth on her body and cleared her throat. “May I help you?”

He stood there silently, glancing about the store, his brown eyes wide. Shaking his head, he stepped backward, his arm moving behind him to shove the door open.

“This was a mistake. I should’ve never come in here.”

Her brow wrinkled in confusion. “Are you lost? Do you need directions to another store perhaps?”

He turned his gaze upon her once more and her breath stalled in her throat. Really, no man should be as handsome as this one. Certainly no stranger had ever made her react like this one did. Heart beating against her chest, breathing shallow, skin tingling with awareness, all over a man she didn’t know.

“I’m not lost, just made a wrong turn. Sorry to bother you.” Making an attempt to leave, the man was thwarted by Johnny, who pulled the door open from behind him, forcing the handsome stranger farther into the store as he entered.

“Where’s that strange guy you called about, Celeste? Your hero is here to save the day.” Johnny grinned at her and the man scowled at Johnny.

Talk about bad timing.
