Descripción editorial
“The ultimate ‘be gay, do crime’ thriller!”—Layne Fargo, bestselling author of The Favorites
“Slick and sexy, with a delightful cast of characters and the eat-the-rich vibes we’re all craving.”—Alison Cochrun, author of Every Step She Takes
Two rival conwomen team up on a high-stakes heist at Miami’s most exclusive new island resort in this sultry, slow-burn thriller.
Nothing brings Chloe Bly more joy than swindling rich people out of their money. Ever since her mother’s funeral, she’s used her hotel catering job to slip into people’s rooms, pawn their valuables, and use the haul to pay off her family’s medical debt. It’s a perfect system—until she finally gets caught.
But instead of turning her in, the eccentric billionaire hotel owner wants to hire Chloe for a job. The con is simple: infiltrate his rival’s new luxury hotel—pure opulence, from its lavish suites to its guests’ attire, accessible only via yacht—steal back his missing Hotel Excellence Award, and get away clean. At stake? Enough money to offer Chloe a way out of debt, out of Miami, and away from her problems forever.
The only problem is that Chloe won’t be working alone. Instead, she must team up with Harper Parisi, the disgustingly wealthy, frustratingly gorgeous conwoman who’s been crashing Chloe’s jobs all year. Suspicious about why Harper would risk it all for the billionaire’s scheme, Chloe doesn’t trust her—or the complicated feelings she sparks. With time running out and millions of dollars on the line, Chloe must get in and out without letting her emotions sabotage her chances of getting rich . . . or getting even.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Voris (Say a Little Prayer) impresses with this taut heist thriller. Chloe Bly has practically bankrupted herself paying off her late mother's medical bills and her own sizable student debt. To stay above water, she takes catering shifts at Miami's luxury Carlyle Hotel and supplements her income by stealing from the hotel's wealthy guests. As the story begins, she's trying to swipe a diamond-studded watch from a billionaire attending a Senate fund-raiser for Andrew Carlyle, CEO of the Carlyle hospitality group. Chloe initially succeeds, only to be thwarted by her longtime nemesis, Harper Parisi, an already affluent thief who steals for the thrill. When Harper tries to turn Chloe in to Andrew for stealing the watch, however, both women are startled to learn that he already knows about Chloe's thefts. He coerces her into teaming up with Harper to recover a Florida Hospitality Award that his business rival stole from him, offering a lucrative payout if the pair succeeds. They reluctantly agree, kicking off a nimble caper plot that's supplemented by budding romantic attraction between the two frenemies. Fans of Glen Erik Hamilton's Van Shaw series will delight in Voris's clever and crowd-pleasing narrative. This is a blast.
