Like any enterprising woman, Bea knows what she's worth and is determined to get all she deserves-it just so happens that what she deserves is to marry rich. After a lifetime of forced instruction in the art of swindling men by her mother, Bea wants nothing more than to escape her shadow, close the door on their sordid past, and disappear safely into old-money domesticity. When Bea finds her final mark in the perfectly dull blue-blooded Collin, she's ready to deploy all her tricks one last time. The challenge isn't getting the ring, but rather the approval of Collin's family and everyone else in their tax bracket, particularly his childhood best friend Gale. Going toe-to-toe with Gale isn't a threat to an expert like Bea, but what begins as an amusing cat-and-mouse game quickly develops into a dangerous chase. As the truth of Bea's past threatens to come roaring out, she finds herself racing against the clock to pass the finish line before everything is exposed"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20231004. 650 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 $a Swindlers and swindling $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Large print books. 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction.) $2 fast 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20231212010510.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D30946E98BC11EEA3C943791FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
