When a con artist and a criminologist team up, the truth is just another blurred line.
Roxy Tanner makes a living lying to people. Skip Cosgrove makes a living figuring them out. They’re an unlikely pair, but when the two are forced to work together, they discover that the line between right and wrong isn’t always as clear as it seems.
In the License to Lie thriller series, Roxy and Skip navigate a world where deception is an art, trust is a liability, and one wrong move can be deadly.
LICENSE TO LIE BOOK ONE
Roxy Tanner is ready to retire from the con game. With nearly $5 million in the bank and a secluded island picked out for her escape, she’s looking forward to a new life—one where she can finally stop pretending to be someone else.Then, her father is kidnapped.
Enter Skip Cosgrove, a former criminologist who’s found an unusual way to put his skills to work: solving problems for the wealthy. Roxy needs his expertise, and Skip has every reason to take the case. But tracking down a kidnapper is one thing. Figuring out who to trust is another.
With nearly $5 million at stake and their lives on the line, Roxy and Skip must learn to work together before their enemies close in. The catch? Trust doesn’t come naturally to a con artist—or to a man who makes a living reading people.
Because when everyone’s lying, the truth can be deadly.
