Summary:
Art forger-slash-thief Steve Rogers and FBI-agent-gone-rogue Bucky Barnes are the perfect partners—in crime and in bed—until a surprise visit from Bucky’s ex-colleagues puts an abrupt end to a morning of post-heist bliss.
Ten years later, Steve is out of prison and ready to reclaim his stolen masterpieces. But with his erstwhile crew scattered, Bucky gone without a trace, and one Agent Coulson ready for another round of cat-and-mouse, it would be a tricky job regardless of the mark. Unfortunately, the bulk of the art has been auctioned off to Alexander Pierce: a corrupt, practically untouchable federal judge with a sinister connection to Steve’s missing lover.
It’s a high-stakes heist that needs a masterstroke to succeed. Alongside his crew, Steve must find his paintings, bring down Pierce, and save his man—or watch his last big score become a portrait of a tragedy.
