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 cliché, but so good . . . if only they can survive long enough to chance a happily ever after.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Rai follows Partners in Crime with another wildly entertaining rom-com/caper mash-up. Brooklynite Sejal Chaudhary makes a living by taking bar bets on her impressive card tricks. It's not the most stable life, but Sejal never plans for more than the short term. She feels like she can't, given that her imprisoned mother was the head of the crime syndicate known as Cobra, her aunt Rhea may have usurped her mother's place, and her horrible ex-boyfriend Alexei, a member of the Ivanovitch mafia family, is after her. When a mark gets aggressive, Sejal asks the tallest (and handsomest) man at the bar to be her fake boyfriend to protect her—only for him to reveal he's an FBI agent. Except he's lying: he's actually Georgetown librarian Krish Anand, a survivalist on a mission to find his little brother, the real FBI agent actually on Sejal's case, who disappeared after getting framed by Cobra. Sejal needs Krish's protection to get to Vegas and acquire the blackmail material she needs to get Alexei off her back, and Krish needs Sejal to find Cobra's leader, but their winding, mishap-strewn road trip makes them realize they just might need each other in other ways as well. It's a ton of fun watching these two guarded people navigate increasingly sticky situations and slowly learn to let each other in. Add in plenty of humor and propulsive action, and readers will want to race through this in a single sitting.
