Publisher Description
From USA Today Bestselling Author Blair Babylon comes an explosive thriller about a small-time con artist in Atlantic City who tries to scam an undercover MI6 spy, and soon the Philly Mafia is chasing both of them.
You can’t con an honest man, but I’d never met one of those.
Until I met Micah Shine.
I come from a long line of con artists. Grifters, if you will. Card cheats and honey traps and catfishers. My mother married wealthy men who died suddenly, and Dad counted cards at blackjack in Atlantic City until the Mafia offed him.
Like father, like daughter.
I was working marks in A.C. when I met Micah Shine, who seemed as if he might be that mythical beast, an honest man. I threw out the bait, and he didn’t bite.
Micah was tall, ripped, rich, and hot, and when he took off his sunglasses, his eyes were the green-flecked silver of opals.
That night, he seemed sober, conscientious, and kind, scrupulous in his honesty, and a freaking magician in bed.
That should have been my clue. Magicians are just another kind of con artists, but it didn’t register. I was smitten until it all fell apart.
I should’ve known.
Because I should have realized that if I wasn’t the con artist that night, I was the mark. .
But that didn’t mean I was a sucker.

Customer Reviews
HOT and suspenseful!
This story is hot as fire and suspenseful as well. Kylie is a con artist trying to keep herself afloat in Atlantic City. She convinces men to buy her things that she can then pawn for cash to support herself. She doesn’t know what she’s gotten herself into when she sets Micah Shine as her next mark.
There’s an instant attraction between them but Kylie never gets involved with a mark – until Micah that is. Micah has his reasons for letting Kylie try to con him; he needs her help to meet with a mafia head.
I was on the edge of my seat for much of this story, wondering what was going to happen next. In between the suspenseful stuff we get some really hot sexy time between Kylie and Micah. He likes to be in control and she doesn’t mind it if things get a bit rough which is perfect for him.
I’m not sure where all of this is going but I know one thing and that is that I can hardly wait to read the next book in this duet. Conning the Billionaire is the first book in a duet that will conclude with Tempting the Billionaire coming in January 2023.
FIVE STARS!
Conning the Billionaire written by Blair Babylon is book 10 of her Secret Billionaires series. This book is about two con artists that decide to con each other and accidentally let things get out of control. It will keep you guessing and very unsure of who is the “good guy” as they battle for control. And go on and prepare yourself for a huge cliffhanger! Ms Babylon never disappoints!
Excellent read!
WOW! This is a “seat of your pants” wild ride. Throughout this story, I put the book aside several times, shaking my head, wondering “what the …” Con is the name of the game and both Kylie and Micah have mastery, but Micah excels at the game. There are cameo appearances including Priyanka Mehtani, who has attitude as one of Kylie’s friends.
“Priyanka handed the blond Italian’s phone back to him and looked at Kylie with huge, disapproving eyes.”
Loved this newest addition to the Le Rosey team, my only caveat is this ends with a cliffhanger, so now we wait…lol. Grab this one, excellent addition to your Blair collection.
