How to Replace a HeartCrime

In the high-stakes sequel How to Replace a Heart, the fallout from their previous heist catches up with Peter and Audrey when they are hunted down by the ruthless Ms. Bridger and a disgruntled bodyguard. To settle a massive debt and recover a stolen necklace, the pair is forced into a daring new operation: stealing a "real" masterpiece from the private collection of a wealthy divorcée named Grace. Working alongside their former adversaries, they infiltrate a Lake Washington gala undercover as cater-waiters, utilizing a complex diversion involving a wine-drenched painting and a timed security reset. While Peter distracts the mark with a calculated "fake-flirtation," Audrey orchestrates a seamless swap of the multimillion-dollar artwork. However, as they deliver the prize to clear their names, they remain unaware that their target is already planning a personal vendetta. This slick follow-up blends romantic tension with a double-crossing caper where no one's heart—or art—is truly safe.
