The Masked Bandit Beauty

Ex-outlaw locksmith partners with a disguised thief to hunt stolen federal gold.

Isabella abandons banditry for a locksmith's bench after mentor Ron Taylor's deathbed plea. A violent clash over buried wealth yanks her into the criminal underworld again, where she crosses paths with Micah, a thief who changes faces as easily as allegiances. The uneasy pair chase threads of a federal payroll heist from twenty years prior, drawing the Soren crime family, the Gray Feather gang, and a corrupt politician's circle into a tightening net of lies and revenge.
