A romcom full of adventure - it's criminally good' Stylist'A perfect mix of romance and intrigue' ★★★★★ 'Hooked from the first chapter' ★★★★★ 'A fantastic suspenseful romance' ★★★★★ 'The banter is sharp, the steam is satisfying, and the emotional payoff hits hard' ★★★★★ From the author of Partners in Crime, comes a sparkling new rom-com where a con woman and a lawman team up on an epic cross-country road trip to save their families . . . and each other. Sejal Chaudhary inherited her mama's calculating brain, her daddy's quick fingers and the trauma of being the eldest daughter of criminals. She's spent the last couple years laying low and going (mostly) straight. That is, until a con gone wrong sends her into the arms of a handsome stranger who's set on dragging her back into her messy family drama. Krish Anand never mastered the fi ne art of being a bad boy . . . he would take a book over bullets any day. But when his FBI agent brother goes missing, he has no choice but to suit up. Certain that someone in Sejal's family is behind the disappearance, a desperate Krish manages to convince the beautiful thief that his brother's badge is actually his. The deal is simple: help Krish find his brother, and he'll leave Sejal be. With an ex also hot on her trail, Sejal reluctantly agrees. As they wind their way across the country, sparks ignite, and what began as a fragile temporary truce starts to look more and more like a partnership. Falling for the enemy? So clich�, but so good . . . if only they can survive long enough to chance a happily ever after. 💜Tropes💜💖enemies-to-lovers💜forced proximity💖forbidden Love💜adventure rom-com
