Cat has a dangerously dwindling bank balance. She also has:

·a month before her landlord kicks her out

·a surprise wedding invitation from rich mean girl, Louisa

·a secret talent for con artistry

A priceless jewel the size of a cocktail olive is glinting on Louisa’s finger.

And when Cat meets her ideal plus one, Jake – who’s gifted at hustling and posing as the perfect boyfriend – this wedding becomes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all,

How hard can a diamond heist be?
