A romantic adventureBodie KingMy entire life revolves around convincing people to do what I want. Some people call me a con man. Some people call me...other things. I prefer to call myself a broker. (I even made business cards, so it must be official.)Charming someone into helping me has never been a problem-until now.The Bennetto chess set is rumored to lead to a priceless fortune. Who better to find it than me? I need an authenticator to help me buy the missing pieces of the chess set. The problem is finding someone who knows the set but is still honest-a quality I lack.Enter Gracen Winthrop. She's knowledgeable. Annoyingly trustworthy. And, most importantly, available.After some persuasion, she seems to catch the treasure hunting bug as well. Unfortunately, I don't actually want to share.Now Gracen refuses to be left behind, despite a homicidal, grudge-holding ex-employee of mine chasing after us. I can't protect her...but turns out she can handle herself just fine.The closer we get to the chess set, the slower I want to find it. Because once I find the missing pieces? I'm going to disappear into the sunset, never to see Gracen again.But Gracen has her own secrets...and how could I expect her to ever love a con?

I'll be an expert at my job all while dutifully ignoring my boss and his ability to lean on door frames.My task is to create a nonprofit that benefits the community.

At least, I don't think so...
