CON GIRL

HOW FAR WILL THEY GO TO GET WHAT THEY WANT?

By: Alexis Patterson, Ian Patterson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She has nothing but wants it all. He has everything but wants only her. How far will they go to get what they want?

Suddenly and unexpectedly transplanted from the suburban wasteland of her New Jersey home to the glass towers of Manhattan, Ariana Blanco encounters a world of unimagined luxury and wealth, as foreign to her as it is seductive. But to survive, Ariana knows she must learn to navigate a treacherous male-dominated world of sex, lies, dirty money, and greed. Though a match for any meth-head or outlaw biker in a leather jacket, does Ariana have what it takes to survive among jackals in pinstripe suits?

Heir to a family fortune, Aiden Quartermaine struggles to keep his disreputable father from destroying the financial empire his grandfather built. And to Aiden, stopping him from investing with Ariana Blanco is top of the list, Aiden convinced the woman is pulling a con. But working together, the two discover a shared passion for the water, single-handing the unpredictable currents of New York Harbor's Upper Bay, sail trimmed, stiff breeze drawing the bow south from the Hudson River to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

Distrust turning to desire, how far is either willing to go to get what they want?

As the billion-dollar IPO nears, pressured by her business partner, bullied by her bankers, increasingly infatuated with the handsome, wealthy investor Aiden Quartermaine, Ariana backslides into the reckless behavior of a past life she believed was far behind her. Desperate and spinning out of control, Ariana must choose: redemption and success, or misery and failure?
