Lucas Taggart is the best con man in the business, so to speak.

A former-geek-turned-hottie, Luke is now an image consultant and life coach to the rich and privileged in New York City. His eight-week program is designed to transform ugly ducklings into swans by instilling some much-needed confidence, and hey, a makeover never hurts.

But when Ainsley Carrington signs up as a client, Luke's world is thrown into a tailspin. Ainsley doesn't need an image consultant; her image is already perfect just the way it is. Luke immediately finds himself grappling with his attraction to the introverted beauty as all his old insecurities come bubbling back to the surface.

Thankfully, his new friend Mia is around to help him out. Soon enough, the coach becomes the player as lines get blurred and professionalism gets thrown out the window. 

The thing is, Luke doesn't date his clients. Ever. But fighting his desire is proving more difficult than he ever imagined. Especially since the cocky and arrogant "confidence man" has just completely lost his cool.

***CON MAN is a romantic comedy novel intended for ages 18+ due to some offensive language and graphic sex/sexual situations.***

**Spinoff to String the Player** (Don't need to read StP to read this. Both books are standalones) Neil's life takes an unexpected turn when a chance encounter with a handsome stranger leaves him reeling. Though it happened while he was on a date with another man, Neil can't shake the memory of the drinks, jazz, and extraordinary company that night provided. He knows better than to hope for more, yet he can't help but feel disappointed when the stranger never calls. No matter. Few gropes and good booze were never going to be the mystical balm to all his aches. He had a life to get back to in India. Vancouver was just a pitstop. Study hard, graduate with a degree he couldn't say for certain would ever come in use, then bid adieu to the rainy, expensive city. Vancouver was far enough for him to lick his wounds in peace. Far enough from a lover he never said goodbye to and a sport he could never play again. His foolproof plan would've gone on without a hitch, but fate had other plans for Neil when the stranger entered his life once again, and this time their meeting wasn't restricted to one night. Soon, Neil finds himself going on unexpected dates, screaming his lungs out at hockey games and reigniting a passion he thought was long dead. From painful reminisces of the past to journeys of soul searching, Neil discovers things about himself he never thought existed. And maybe, just maybe, this pitstop could become his new permanent. ONC 2023 Prompt: On a blind date with a complete mismatch, you're increasingly uncomfortable but too polite to leave. Then an attractive stranger comes over and gives you an out.
