Gracen is just a humble antiques authenticator living above the antique shop she works in. But she has come across a major score, a chess set rumored to hold the clues to a priceless fortune.
When Bodie King walks in her store, her hackles are raised. She has heard the rumors of the kind of man she is, a con man.
Bodie is used to being able to get what he wants, and through some persuasion, he gets Gracen on his side in search of the treasure.
As they search for the treasure, they uncover more secrets about each other, and are more drawn together. Is resistance to this attraction futile?

What a run ride! The banter, the way they continue to try and best each other, the secrets, it all comes together to make the most absorbing story. One you will want to race through to find out the conclusion.
Before this book I would have dubbed myself a fan of morally gray characters, but I'm on board if it makes for a book this fun and immersive. I was traveling with them participating in the banter and feeling their chemistry.
If you like a rom com plus a little mystery and action, check this one out!

This is a closed door, kisses only rom com. It is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.
Thanks to Carina Taylor for the gifted audiobook. All opinions are my own.
