Synopsis

Sassy, Sexy, Southern Suspense She 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?
"Another great mystery by Larissa Reinhart. Con artists, murder, a cast of sinister characters, and some laughs along the way. Loved it." -- Terri L. Austin, author of the Rose Strickland Mysteries and Null For Hire series.

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.

"The Cupid Caper is Hustle with Gin from Elemental Assassin minus the magic.If that doesn't want to make you read it, I don't know else to tell you 5 stars" -Brook Banks, The Layaway Dragon

" If you are a fan of the television show Leverage, this is similar but on a much grander scale." -- Laura's Interests

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Ex-con Finley Goodhart finds her criminal past--and criminal ex-boyfriend--useful in catching crooks. Can she make up for her past by helping victims double-cross their swindler? More importantly, can she convince Lex that going straight is the best (and most challenging) hustle of all?

While dealing with Lex--an ex who's doing his best to bamboozle Fin's heart--Finley's running from her past: a crooked cop dad, sharks, frauds, and mobsters. She's fighting her own style of justice: one where the con is the mark and the scam rewards the innocent. But if Finley gets caught, there's no honor among thieves. She could pay with her life.
