Publisher Description
A Long Con Adventure
A true protector will guard your heart before his own.
Hunter Rutledge saw one too many people die in his life as mercenary muscle to go back to the job, so he was conveniently at loose ends when Josh Salinger offered him a place in his altruistic den of thieves.
Hunter is almost content having found a home with a group of people who want justice badly enough to steal it. If only one of them didn’t keep stealing his attention from the task at hand….
Superlative dancer and transcendent thief Dylan “Grace” Li lives in the moment. But when mobsters blackmail the people who gave him dance—and the means to save his own soul—Grace turns to Josh for help.
Unfortunately, working with Josh’s crew means working with Hunter Rutledge, and for Grace, that’s more dangerous than any heist.
Grace’s childhood left him thinking he was too difficult to love—so he’s better off not risking his love on anyone else. Avoiding commitment keeps him safe. But somehow Hunter’s solid, grounding presence makes him feel safer. Can Grace trust that letting down his guard to a former mercenary doesn’t mean he’ll get shot in the heart?

Better then the first!
I really loved this book, it had intriguing, adventure, and amazing characters. The romance was just right and didn’t feel forced or rushed. Can’t wait for the next book!
The Care & Feeding of Grace & Hunter
The Muscle by Amy Lane was given to me in exchange for an honest review. This was a wonderful book filled with intrigue, dancing and lots of faith in the one you love. Grace, a dancer and excellent thief, has 2 families: his dance family and his best friend's family but he feels like he isn't good enough for either of them or anyone because of a mistake he made when he was younger. Hunter, the muscle of the group, his job is to keep the crew safe but finds he cannot keep his eyes off of Grace. While working on saving the conservatory and his Dance Master, Grace has to believe that his friends and Hunter will never leave him. Hunter makes it known that he has Grace’s back and he has decided to keep Grace no matter what. I adored this book. The balance between the job and the main characters falling in love was flawless and that your chosen family will always be there for you. This story captured your imagination, with a dash of angst and kept you engaged until the very end in a way only Amy Lane can create.
