I don't even know where to start.

Ellie is a grifter, just like her parents, and after one of her scams goes bad and she's short on money she decides to start her live over and go back to the only place she could call home - her Uncle Jim's house. There will be no more tricks. No more stealing money from people. No more grifting. She's done.

And then she meets one of her old high school friends - her only friend back then, really -, Camden. She's taken aback by how much he changed from the weird freaky kid he was back then to an incredibly attractive young man covered in tattoos, and owner of a successful tattoo parlor in town. Ellie can't pass the opportunity to make easy money, and Camden might just be what she needs to get her life together and get the hell out of that town. So she starts plotting, hoping to use Camden's trust in her to get to his money.

Only things not go as planned when Camden finds out about her plans to scam him and turns the tables on her in on hell of a plot twist. We find out he's not as sweet as we think he is, and he definitely doesn't forget things easily. Especially not Ellie.

This story comes together perfectly, keeping you on edge and guessing the entire time. It was such a refreshing read, with a whole lot different plot from what we're used to finding out there in Contemporary Romance books. The characters interacted and reacted in the most amazing ways to each other, and it all ended with a cliffhanger that left me wanting to punch something!
