A high octane sexy space heist from New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis, the second in a novella trilogy Ada had no intention whatsoever to continue working for the rebel group that hired her to retrieve the government's plans for a nanobot climate cleaner if they weren't willing to pay her for it, but then they offer a different perk: an undercover mission to a charity gala where Rian will be in attendance. Rian, meanwhile, has volunteered his services for the gala believing that the rare items up for auction will attract Ada's eye. Hoping to catch her in the act and pin her with a punishable crime, Rian has no idea that Ada's real mission is to convince him to join the rebels. And the rebels have no idea that Ada's decided that kidnapping Rian is the most efficient means to an end. How to Steal the Galaxy continues the sexy, rip-roaring good time that Beth Revis began in Full Speed to a Crash Landing, with the return of Ada, Rian, and all the tension, twists, and turns that made the first novella so much fun.
"Ada Lamarr may have gotten to the spaceship wreck first, but looter's rights won't get her far when she's got a hole in the side of her ship and her spacesuit is almost out of air. Fortunately for her, help arrives in the form of a government salvage crew--and while they reluctantly rescue her from certain death, they are not pleased to have an unexpected passenger along on their classified mission. But Ada doesn't care--all that matters to her is enjoying their fine food and sweet, sweet oxygen--until Rian White, the government agent in charge, starts to suspect that there's more to Ada than meets the eye"--
