Description

Nancy Norman's world collapses when a fire destroys everything she owns. The glamour-obsessed home care nurse faces an impossible choice: retire with nothing-or take one last night shift that could change everything. She takes the job.

Her assignment leads her to an eccentric billionaire's remote estate, where eco-activism hides darker secrets. But her quiet shift erupts into chaos when thieves storm the mansion, hunting for a legendary sapphire collection. Suddenly, Nancy is fighting for her life against trained criminals, high-tech traps, and the mansion's bizarre defenses.

Caught between loyalty and desperation, Nancy discovers an unexpected talent for deception. As she matches wits with the charming mastermind Stephen Sinclair, she realizes the biggest heist of the night might be her own transformation. In a house where nothing is what it seems, Nancy must decide who she is-and what she's willing to steal to survive. This glittering thriller delivers a night of crime, betrayal, and self-discovery where the real treasure might be finding yourself.

Advance Praise

"A glamorous nurse on the brink of losing everything discovers her greatest talent may be survival when a jewel heist erupts around her." -NewInBooks.com

"Charming and lively, The Night Nurse And The Jewel Thief by Marilee Dahlman is a lighthearted and amusing tale of crime and deceit... While mayhem ensues reminiscent of a more intelligent Home Alone, subtle themes of obsession, duplicity, and hope for a better tomorrow give the story additional allure. Character development is exemplary and truly stands out. From the lovesick AI to the charming Sinclair and the rest of the small cast, each individual felt unique and hand-crafted. The pacing is fast, at times hectic, but perfectly suited to the narrative. Overall, an excellent read for fans of sophisticated crime stories that do not rely on gore." -Reviewed by Gaius Konstantine for Readers' Favorite

"This is a fast-paced and gripping cat-and-mouse thriller filled with twists, betrayals and shifting alliances. But what makes it stand out is the over-the-top quirkiness of the personalities. From Nancy to the billionaire to each of the three thieves, and even the cat, each character has been assigned exceptional qualities that make them stand out from the crowd. Filled with humor, some of it dark, much of it slapstick, this novel both entertains and intrigues as the reader follows Nancy's relatable journey of reinvention and self-discovery, all while testing her moral boundaries. This would appeal to readers who need a dose of light-hearted adventures with unconventional characters and a setting that is a bizarre character in itself. This fast-paced thriller sparkles with danger, deception, and unexpected heart." -Sublime Book Review
