"I may be the professional, but with us, you're the thief." 
 Rose Fowler feels ignored, overlooked, and unneeded at work. With the upward movement of her father's new girlfriend, Pilar, Rose feels like she is being even more unnoticed in a position created for her when she wanted to earn a VP position with Fleur Cosmetics rather than accept one simply because she was a Fowler. 
 But now she's thinking it may be time to leave the family business, and she plans to turn in her resignation when she returns to New York. As the youngest, Rose has always been sheltered by her sisters and father. When she steps out at the Cannes Film Festival in a daring dress and iconic family heirloom necklace, she turns heads in ways she hadn't intended. 
 The Poppy Necklace would set Caden Kingsley up nicely. But he hadn't anticipated it being on the neck of Rose Fowler, nor had he anticipated his emotions becoming tangled in his quest for the necklace that would bring him a huge payout. 
 "You reached right into my chest and took my heart like it fully belonged to you. And I think it does." 
 As Caden and Rose dance around each other, experiencing things neither planned for nor know how to handle, their time together transforms from a simple flirtation to something far more. Their chemistry was instant, with both challenge each other to be the best, most authentic versions of themselves possible. But as hot as the sparks fly between them, they hold pieces of themselves back, secrets and omissions that eventually threaten the bond between them. 
 There were less details and plot lines from the business side of the family in Stealing Rose than was in Owning Violet. The girls are all still angry over Pilar's influence on their father and the potential that she will be a more permanent fixture both in the family and the company. But because Rose is taking a leave of absence for much of the book, the future of the company that was such a focus in the first book takes a back seat to Rose and Caden. 
 I loved the way this story wrapped up. From the point where secrets begin spilling into the open until the finals words of the epilogue, I couldn't put this down. The earlier portions were entertaining, and they certainly spent enough time in bed together to make things steamy, but it was really the last 20% or so that made me love Rose and Caden.
