A perfectly wicked debut thriller about an ambitious woman who\, af ter a lifetime of conning alongside her mother\, wants to leave her dark p ast behind and marry the heir to one of the country's wealthiest families. \;
\nLike any enterprising woman\, Bea knows what she's worth a nd is determined to get all she deserves--it just so happens that what she deserves is to marry rich. \;Filthy \;rich. After years of forced instruction by her mother in the art of swindling men\, a now-solo Bea wa nts nothing more than to close and lock the door on their sordid partnersh ip so she can disappear safely into old-money domesticity\, sealing the fi nal phase of her escape. \;
\nWhen Bea chooses her ultimate targ et in the fully loaded\, thoroughly dull and blue-blooded Collin Case\, sh e's ready to deploy all of her tricks one last time. The challenge isn't g etting the ring\, but rather the approval of Collin's family and everyone else in their 1 percent tax bracket\, particularly his childhood best frie nd\, Gale Wallace-Leicester. \;
\nGoing toe-to-toe with Gale isn 't a threat to an expert like Bea\, but what begins as an amusing cat-and- mouse game quickly develops into a dangerous pursuit of the grisly truth. Finding herself at a literal life-and-death crossroads with everything on the line\, Bea must finally decide who she really wants to be. \;
