Name: Jax of Hearts: Chasing Shadows
Author: Lex Easton

48 pages

Jax Winter doesn’t get caught.
Known only as the Rogue, he’s built a reputation for impossible break-ins and even more impossible escapes—almost like magic. Except, Jax has learned not to mess with magic, just like he’s learned not to mess with emotional attachments. He trusts his hands, his instincts, and absolutely nothing else.

But when Jax discovers that the old friend who once betrayed him is planning a heist, he breaks his own first rule: he lets things get personal.
What should be a simple job quickly turns into something far more dangerous: a glamorous masquerade party, a mysterious magical artifact . . . and a masked stranger who keeps appearing exactly when Jax least expects him. But as the night spirals toward a confrontation with the past, Jax finds himself facing a problem no amount of charm, sleight of hand, or quick thinking can solve.

JAX OF HEARTS: CHASING SHADOWS is a fun, fast-paced low-fantasy heist novella and a prequel to the Rogue & Reaper series.
