Sassy, Sexy, Southern SuspenseShe uses her criminal past to catch crooks. He wants her back. In the grift. And in his life. Can Finley Goodhart convince Lex that doing good is the greatest hustle of all?
Ex-grifter Finley Goodhart may try to stay on the straight and narrow, but walking that thin line becomes wobbly when she believes her friend Penny was murdered. The last thing she wants is to work with her ex-partner (and ex-boyfriend), the brilliant (brilliantly frustrating) British con artist, Lex Leopold. However, when it appears Penny's demise might be related to an exclusive matchmaking service for millionaires, Fin needs Lex's help to pull a long con to get the goods on Penny.
Romance is in the air for hustlers, gangsters, and their marks. Unfortunately for Fin and Lex, infiltrating the racket doesn't make for a match made in heaven.
This Valentine swindle could stop their hearts for good.
There is a free prequel for my newsletter subscribers, Pig’n a Poke.
At first, Finley, a small time hustler, is shocked and saddened to learn that her once best friend, a woman she has neglected recently, drifted away from, is dead. By overdose. Except that Fin knows for certain it was murder. That is something Finley can not accept or stay away from.
The man who brings her this news is Fin's off and on love, the super sexy and always one step ahead, Lex. Even though they are not a "couple," Fin and Lex are partners. There is no room in her life for love or trust. Although, at some point everyone must trust someone, even temporarily.
If you are a fan of the television show Leverage, this is similar but on a much grander scale.
Occasionally the Leverage crew would have to take on organized crime, but Fin is taking on an octopus of organized crime. So tangled together and each arm distrusting of the others that it seems impossible to figure out. Fin must be satisfied just to shut their con down.
Using multiple personalities and never staying in one place more than a few hours, Fin Goodhart is a woman with a mission. You'll fall for her even as you fear for her life - over and over.
The mysterious Lex and Dot have appealing qualities as well.
This is a dangerous mystery with many layers.
I can not wait for the next adventure.
Hang on to your hat and purse and seat as this is a wild ride. As exciting and fast paced as this long con is for the first half of the book, at almost exactly 50% the game plan changes!
