Aspiring designer Drew Miller can’t stand Logan Cash, even if he does rock a leather jacket like James Dean, has a World Series of Poker championship title and hilariously creative ideas for payback against her coworker who gets handsy. At first, he was a mild annoyance, taking up space in her favorite coffee shop, but when he spills coffee all over her fashion illustrations, thwarting her chance to win a contest, he goes from annoyance to sworn enemy.
Logan has been running cons since he learned to walk. He’s no amateur. But every time he gets near Drew, his plans go horribly wrong. His luck changes when she cashes in the favor he promised her. Her salty attitude that keeps everyone else at arm’s length doesn’t faze him—it intrigues him. A little too much.
Never catch feelings for your mark is rule number one of Con Artist 101, but their sizzling chemistry makes it impossible for him to stay detached. When Logan learns he’s not the only one with a plan to manipulate Drew, he steps out of the role of bad guy and into the role of her protector. He knows he’s no good for her, but he’s in too deep to walk away.
She’s the black sheep in a family of con artists—the screw-up, the impulsive one. The most gifted, sure, yet somehow the least trusted. Morgan Cash made a promise to her family: no more trouble. And she kept it...
...until she heard about the plan to demolish the casino she grew up in. She couldn’t just stand by and watch her childhood be blown to smithereens, so, she stopped it.
Now, the jerk whose plan she derailed wants her as his partner in crime. It’s her chance to prove her family is wrong about her. But there’s a catch: her new partner is a farmer by day, and he’s dragging her to the middle of nowhere to plot their heist.
Her? In the country? She’s as city as it gets. But how hard can it be? A little fresh air, a lot of focus, and zero distractions—Well, unless you count her partner’s maddening dimples or the way he makes driving a tractor shirtless look like a sin waiting to happen.
She might be out of her element, but she’s always on her game. This job will be her last, but she plans to go out with a bang.
