Lily Gilmartin is a former grifter gone straight. Maybe. Lily has one life rule: You've got to look after yourself because no one else will. Alejandro Hernandez (Alex to everyone but his mother) has been ducking trouble ever since he made the mistake of trying to help an old friend. When her past comes calling, Lily must run (call it Plan A). But she crosses paths with Alex, who wants to know why she seems to be on the side of the people who wrecked his life, and Plan A goes badly wrong. Plan B, which Lily would really rather not do, is to pull off the most dangerous con of her life.Backed, or maybe betrayed, by a group of Alex's friends, Lily and Alex must find a way to do two things: stop the man who wants her dead, then thwart the more dangerous man who wants her back-before anyone can discover the secret she abandoned her soul to protect.
