katikatOn the eve of the new millennium, diamond thief Noel Snow seduced FBI special agent Robert Cuffe, then fled into the dawn. Now a successful novelist, Noel uses his capers as fodder for his books, and has modeled his hero's nemesis (and potential love interest) on Cuffe. Though he leaves Robert a drunken phone message every New Year's Eve, Noel hasn't seen or heard from him in a decade.
So he's thrilled when his former lover shows up at his upstate farm one Christmas Eve. Elation quickly turns to alarm when Robert accuses Noel of being responsible for a recent rash of diamond heists. Robert is all business and as cold as ice: it seems his only interest in Noel is to put him behind bars.
Innocent of the crimes, and still as attracted as ever to the oh-so-serious lawman, Noel plans a second seduction—providing he can stay out of jail long enough!
Review: I would recommend the story to anyone who likes the TV show White Collar. Yes, in "Icecapade", a cat burglar falls for the FBI agent who's after him. Immensely likable characters, hot sex and the right dash of hurt/comfort that just pets the heart, this is Lanyon at his best.
You can either buy the story as it is or in the anthology "His For The Holidays".
