    About this ebook

    LESSON#1: DON'T FALL FOR THE MARK.

    Ellie Phillips doesn’t want to go to university. She wants to keep running cons with her father and her brother Jimmy, just like she always has. When she strikes a deal with her dad to run the perfect heist, she bets her future on the result.

    All she has to do is dig up the dirt on a shady billionaire. To do so, she needs to get into his hotel and snoop around. Unfortunately, when she runs into the mark’s son Matt and falls for him, she lets her guard down and everything starts to spiral out of control...
