Ava Gifford, the master of scamming, has a grand plan.
She's going to scam NYC's most eligible bachelor.
It's her riskiest scam yet, with Stephen Lee's growing popularity amongst the media. But she's positive she can have him wrapped around her finger in under a year, and leave him with enough money to retire in luxury.
What she doesn't account for is Stephen's boyish charm and warm heart, and the protectiveness of his best friend, Elijah Knowles.
In an expensive change of plans, Ava needs to decide; will she protect his heart or her future?
