Always the Sun
By Ian Orchid

Some treasures are worth stealing. Some secrets are worth killing for.

Claude has always lived by his own rules. As a skilled art thief, he's spent years navigating the dangerous underworld of stolen masterpieces, con artists, and career criminals. But nothing could prepare him for Maxine.

Mysterious, beautiful, and carrying a past she cannot-or won't-remember, Maxine captures Claude's heart from the moment they meet in the Caribbean. What begins as an unforgettable romance follows them back to London, where their lives become entangled in a web of deception, betrayal, and deadly ambition.

As Maxine's hidden past begins to surface, Claude finds himself drawn into a violent struggle involving ruthless Russian gangsters, dangerous gun runners, and London's most notorious criminals. With the help of his loyal friend Spike, Claude must outwit enemies at every turn while protecting the woman he's willing to risk everything to keep.
But in a world where trust is a luxury and everyone has an agenda; love may prove to be the greatest gamble of all.

Fast-paced, stylish, and filled with unforgettable characters, Always the Sun is a gripping mystery thriller that blends high-stakes crime, relentless suspense, and a passionate love story into a page-turning adventure that races toward a shocking conclusion.
