The cross is the key to a priceless treasure...will it secure their future, or doom them forever? One year after being shot in Italy, Rachel Sanders travels to Venice in search of the jeweled cross that triggered a heartbreaking family betrayal. Determined to keep the treasure from her mother’s greedy hands, she’s caught off guard by the interference of an irresistibly charming rival. His unexpected offer to work together might be self-serving, but she’s thrown into a precarious situation where she can’t refuse. Nick Marshall has a family legacy to recover and a score to settle. Anyone with the last name Sanders is fair game—until he meets Rachel. She’s gorgeous, smart, sexy, and doesn’t buy one word of his cover story. When their attraction combusts, each kiss makes his deception burn like acid, and he begins to question his end goal. But they’re not the only ones after the cross. Ruthless players determined to recover the treasure first put Nick and Rachel’s lives at risk. Despite all the secrets and lies, lines quickly blur between the con and the real deal. Can love survive a double-cross when the mystery is unlocked? Join the sexy fun of a treasure hunt through Venice – get your copy of CONNED today! “From the moment the book begins until its exciting conclusion, it’s all blood-pounding chases, near misses with death, and heart-stopping romance.” ~ Adria’s Romance Reviews EXCERPT: “I’m serious, Nicholas, stop following me.” “I prefer Nick.” “Or we could go with creepy asshole stalker.” He grinned. “Nicholas is fine.” “Just leave me alone. It’s not like I’ve got anything you want anymore.” She had plenty he wanted. And plenty more he shouldn’t. Hidden behind his own mirrored shades, he flicked his gaze down to her pink mouth, with its full bottom lip glistening in the morning sunshine. Succumbing to the urge to kiss those lips would give a whole new meaning to keep your enemies closer. For him anyway. He shifted his attention back up, wishing he could remove her glasses. Would that answering glimmer of awareness darken her eyes again? The possibility sent a shot of heat through his veins. Tempting though it was, tasting her was not a thought he should be entertaining. To distract his libido, he said, “I was hoping we could talk. Can I buy your caffe?” “You already did.” A smirk curved the corners of her mouth as she started across the square once more. He automatically reached to feel his pocket. His wallet was still there, but obviously he should have checked the contents—and definitely don’t bet the Bible where she’s concerned. Nick caught up in three strides and kept pace with her. “Then the least you can do is let me sit with you while you drink it.” “The least I can do? Really?” She didn’t stop walking until they reached the café. Then she swiped her glasses off and jabbed them at him as her blue eyes flashed. “You broke into my apartment, stole letters that have sentimental value, and then lost them to those two idiots last night. And you’re talking about the least I can do?” “Whoa, easy now.” He held up his hands to placate her. And ward off the jab. “Before you go getting all worked up, maybe you’d like to hear my proposition.” “No thanks.” “Trust me, yes you do.” “Trust you,” she retorted. “Wow, not only are you delusional, you’re hilarious.” Quit trying to talk her into listening and just say it. “I thought we could help each other.” Her elegantly sculpted eyebrows arched upward as she tucked her glasses in her bag. “With what?” “Finding whatever it is you came here to look for.” Her eyes widened the tiniest bit. Then her eyebrows lowered, drawing together as she appeared to consider his words. “The only thing I might consider looking for are the personal mementos you stole and lost.” So much for consideration. “I might have a lead on those letters.” He had shit, but she wouldn’t know that. Ignoring him, she faced the barista and gave an order for a cappuccino. Then she looked at the pastry offerings and fumbled through a request for something similar to cornetto alla crema. Nick pointed out the bignè alla crema before requesting a caffe doppio for himself. He also advised in Italian they’d like to sit at one of the terrace tables so the cover charge could be added to their bill. He reached for his wallet, but Rachel beat him to it by handing twenty euros to the man operating the register. “Don’t worry, you’re covered.” “I’d say thank you, but I’d be talking to myself, right?” His sarcasm was rewarded with a smug smile. While she accepted the change, Nick took their purchases to carry out to the table. After setting them down, he pulled out her chair and waited. She gave him a suspicious look before gathering her skirt with one hand and sitting with a graceful sweep of elegance. The movement was so smooth, the single, filmy ruffle along her modest neckline barely moved. Like the last time he’d stood behind her at a restaurant table, the faint honey scent of her shampoo wafted up to fill his senses. A hint of sweet and a whole lot of sultry, just like the woman. He drew in a discreet inhale, then straightened with a mental admonishment to keep his focus. When he dropped onto the chair opposite her, she lifted her cappuccino for a taste, then set her cup back on its saucer. She sat back in her chair with her gaze steady on his. “What makes you think I’d want, or even need, your help?” Ah ha. She was thinking about his offer. He considered what angle to play as he sipped his double espresso. Charming or blunt? Yesterday, he’d have piled on the charm. She’d appeared more…innocent. Maybe not quite the right word, but the stylish dress, the shoes, her hair, and even the modest make-up she wore, all suggested a level of somewhat high maintenance. Or sophistication. Class. However, her undetected pursuit of him last night completely contradicted everything on the outside. Coupled with her ambush this morning, he was seeing her in an entirely different light. Class, some sass, and not one to have the wool pulled over her eyes. He went with blunt. “Because I can help you find the cross.” ~~~ ITALY INTRIGUE SERIES Kidnapped, book 1 *Winner* 2012 Write Touch Readers' Award, romantic suspense as Lost in Italy Betrayed, book 2 Conned, book 3 Romantic suspense, sexy alpha male hero, betrayal, international romance series, Italian vacation romance, beach reads, treasure hunt, con job, family betrayal, strong woman, priceless jewels, Venice Italy, on the run romance, blackmail, fans of Indiana Jones, fans of National Treasure, fans of Romancing the Stone, action adventure romance, action, adventure, fans of The Thomas Crowne Affair

The period after the First World War was a golden age for the confidence man. 'A new kind of entrepreneur is stirring amongst us,' The Times wrote in 1919. 'He is prone to the most detestable tactics, and is a stranger to charity and public spirit. One may nonetheless note his acuity in separating others from their money.' Enter Victor Lustig (not his real name). An Austro-Hungarian with a dark streak, by the age of 16 he had learned how to hustle at billiards and lay odds at the local racecourse. By 19 he had acquired a livid facial scar in an altercation with a jealous husband. That blemish aside, he was a man of athletic good looks, with a taste for larceny and foreign intrigue. He spoke six languages and went under nearly as many aliases in the course of a continent-hopping life that also saw him act as a double (or possibly triple) agent. Along the way, he found time to dupe an impressive variety of banks and hotels on both sides of the Atlantic; to escape from no fewer than three supposedly impregnable prisons; and to swindle Al Capone out of thousands of dollars, while living to tell the tale. Undoubtedly the greatest of his hoaxes was the sale, to a wealthy but gullible Parisian scrap-metal dealer, of the Eiffel Tower in 1925. In a narrative that thrills like a crime caper, best-selling biographer Christopher Sandford draws on newly released documents to tell the whole story of the greatest conman of the twentieth century.

This self-help book is based on the true story of what happened to me; it will help you and your family spot a con in time. It will assist you in the awareness of what you should look out for before it's too late. In reality, it becomes a domino effect that you lose all your money, lifestyle, family, dignity and self-respect. Knowing how to gain insight of what to look for will help you regain your life and save you from a world of betrayal and loneliness. Because of my inquisitive nature, I needed to know how he did this, and why it happened to me. Many people, mostly family, wanted to understand and help but became lost and unaware, only to find out the truth when it was too late. When this all started happening to me I felt empowered and capable of doing anything. My emotions were high; I was in love and felt like I could achieve anything, do anything, get whatever I wanted. I felt high on life. I never realized how unhappy I was with my life and how lonely I really was. But it came crashing down hard, leaving me devastated, broke, and alone. My family changed how they felt about me; I became labeled because in reality they felt robbed and cheated because of what the con did. They didn't know how to handle the pain and rejection, because I became someone they didn't know and the impact was traumatic and devastating. I feel it is my duty to stop you from making the same mistake I made. It's surmountable and very lonely when you end up losing yourself, money, and your family in a blink of an eye. I guarantee it will happen if you do not look at the warning signs, and as hard as it was for me to write this book, I had to, because I believe that your life is worth saving. You deserve better than what the con is playing you for, because the outcome is that you end up feeling like a fool. You deserve better and I don't want what happened to me to happen to you. I never felt so empty, vulnerable, and alone, and sadly, when you are conned on the internet-even though at the time you think you're a princess or queen or a king in a fairy tale-you keep going. You don't want it to stop. I don't want you to believe every word they say. Then one day what you perceived to be real with all your heart and soul becomes a darkness, a shadow that will haunt you with great remorse and suffering. I wanted you to see how hard you will or could fall if you don't stop, if you don't look for signs and warnings that it will be too late. You will lose yourself if you don't. My hope is that you will try to find out what these signs are before you become a victim of a terrible crime, because that is what it is: a crime, without any chance of ever seeing a cent of your money again. Everything you have, gone. The worst part is what it does to your family. I was never a materialistic person, but I love my family with all my heart, and the fact that this happened and how they feel about me has crushed my spirits and left a hole in my heart. I just pray that you take time to think about the actions of what it will do to you if you don't look at the ramifications. Take the time to look at the consequences before it is too late, before you lose the most precious thing you have in this world: your family. I wanted to create a self-help book to give you the knowledge to grow and become aware of what is really happening. I was naïve. I want you to have a better chance at life that the one I live in now. In closing, I don't what you to live in the darkness, I want you to live in the light, and most of all I don't want you to get conned. I want you to have the foresight and knowledge to be able to see past what I would have loved to have known before this happened to me. You deserve better, remember that.
