She sets out to steal from him, but he might just steal her heart instead.
Liliana Stratford hasn't used her real name in years. Hell, she barely even knows what her real hair color is. She scrapes by doing the only thing she's really good at: making men fall in love with her and then robbing them for all their worth. But the perks of quick cash comes with serious downfalls: a life on the run, alone, and the guilt burrowing deep in her chest. If she can pull off one more big con, she might finally have enough to settle down and buy back the precious heirloom that was stolen from her several months ago.
Determined to make this last one count, she dons a new alias and a short skirt in order to pull off her biggest con job to date: exacting revenge on billionaire bachelor Colby Carver. He’s the jerk who purchased her precious family heirloom for mysterious reasons at an auction after her deadbeat mother pawned it off. Without the funds to buy it back, she decides her best course of action is to infiltrate Colby’s life, find the brooch, and swipe it out from under him the same way he unknowingly did it her. It's the perfect plan and the perfect con.
A personal chef’s job for Colby provides Liliana with exactly the right opportunity to snoop behind his back. As she grows closer to finding the brooch, she also grows closer to Colby himself, bonding with him despite her conscience telling her what a bad idea this is. The chemistry between them crackles and soon she finds exactly what she wasn’t looking for: love.
But how can she fall for him when she’s planning to rob him blind?
All’s fair in love and war.
When feisty Remy King’s assigned to create an advertising campaign for a trendy new augmented reality phone game, she heads outside her office to test the game out, expecting to play once and be done. But by plugging in her headphones and concentrating on leveling up, she doesn't have to think about how her ex gambled away all their money and their love. Or how her career is tanking. So when she continually bumps into a fellow player on the streets, her first instinct isn’t to make friends, it’s to put up her walls and keep them there. But she just can’t seem to stay away from ruggedly handsome Caleb Vendal.
A few weeks ago, Caleb packed up all his belongings and moved from LA to NYC on a whim after walking in on his ex cheating on him…with his twin brother. With no friends in the city and a new cutthroat job in marketing where he’s the first man on the chopping block, he dives head first into his first work assignment. For Caleb, Remy's a ray of hope hidden beneath all that dark eyeliner. She’s the first person in a long time he truly feels he can connect with. And for Remy, Caleb has a magical way of coaxing the scowl off her face. Soon they’re not just helping each other beat the game, they're also helping each other confront their exes and move on.
But when they discover they work at rival marketing firms each pitching a lucrative new campaign for the very game that brought them together, their trust in each other falters. Soon, the competition—and the chemistry—heats up between them.
