For fans of Knives Out, The Thomas Crown Affair, White Collar, The Art Thief, and The Mastermind, with the humor of The Blonde Identity mixed in, this dark MM rom-com asks, how much will you risk to get everything you've ever wanted?
As the sole heir to his family's estate, Giancarlo Luxford is focused on one thing: Auctioning off his late mother's art collection to the highest bidder. A chance encounter with an ex-con has him setting his sights on a new goal, and nothing-not even the threat of mutual destruction-will stand in his way.
Longtime grifter Rowen Quincy only cares about the game, but after one too many bad decisions, he finds himself in a tight spot, dreaming of escape. Billionaire Giancarlo Luxford seems like an easy mark, and a ticket out of his situation, but this one-time heist may end up becoming the longest con of all.
