In a game where lies keep her alive, can a jewel thief prove the truth? She might have been born in poverty, but now Quin poses as an aristocrat to lure in wealthy targets and help her city’s slums. She lives by three rules: rob from the rich, give to the poor and never get caught. Because for her crimes, the penalty is death. Royal, charming, and handsome, Atesh is her latest mark, but he’s no fool. When he starts seeing through her disguise, Quin must balance lie upon truth, teetering dangerously close to spilling her secrets and losing her heart. Even worse, wherever Atesh goes, attention follows – for him and anyone at his side. With a string of crimes in her wake, a sick mother hidden away, and a whole district’s people relying on her, Quin can’t afford such close scrutiny. After a shocking murder strikes at the heart of the palace, Atesh is wrongly accused. Quin must choose between saving an innocent man from the gallows and keeping the noose from her own neck. When that innocent man might expose her lies, and hidden enemies control the game, one wrong move could destroy her and everyone she loves. Perfect for fans of Sarah J.
