About this ebook

His life is in her hands.

Seth Wellington needs protection, but he never expects for that protection to arrive in the ever-so-sexy form of Harley Adaire. Their initial meeting is electric, and each time that he is around the deceptively delicate Wilde agent, his attraction to her grows. But this isn’t the time for Seth to be falling for someone. The world thinks he’s a master criminal. Just because his father maybe, sorta, okay, yes, was a master criminal. Now the FBI wants Seth to take over his father’s organization. The Feds want him to work undercover and bring down some very, very bad people.

The problem is that those bad people want to destroy him.

So in strolls Harley. A woman with a thirst for adventure, a smile meant to tempt, and a body that will rule his fantasies for years. She can be his bodyguard and his partner. She’ll stay by his side, and they’ll trip up the criminals surrounding them. Sounds easy. But…it isn’t. Because Seth has to pretend to be someone completely different. Someone dark and dangerous, and the more he pretends, the more he starts to lose sight of his real self.

And the more he wants her. 

Possessive, passionate, deadly—that’s the man Seth has to be. Only when he’s with Harley, the possessiveness and the passion are all too real. Too bad they are surrounded by criminals who are hell bent on wrecking Seth’s world. The danger is mounting, the desire Seth feels for Harley is raging out of control, and, unfortunately, the body count may be starting to rise.

Because when you try to con a crime boss, you’re playing a very, very dangerous game…

Step one: Show no fear.

Step two: Prepare to fight dirty.

Step three: Become the man everyone fears. Everyone, but her…

A man isn’t supposed to get territorial when it comes to his bodyguard, but Harley is no ordinary bodyguard. She’s the woman who is quickly coming to obsess Seth. In this new, dark world around him, she’s also the only person he trusts. Now, if they can just stay alive and bring down the bad guys, maybe he can get his bodyguard to fall for him. Maybe. 

Ratings and reviews

4.25 stars—HOW TO CON A CRIME BOSS is the third instalment in Cynthia Eden’s contemporary adult WILDE WAYS; GONE ROGUE erotic, romantic suspense series-a spin off from the author’s WILDE WAYS series. This is security specialists Harley Adaire, and heir to a criminal empire Seth Wellington. The premise is surprising and intriguing; the romance is provocative and steamy; the characters are desperate, determined and dynamic.

Four and a half stars HOW TO CON A CRIME BOSS is the third in Cynthia Eden’s Wilde Ways: Gone Rogue series. It’s exactly the high adrenaline, high emotion, highly entertaining writing Ms Eden’s known for. Bodyguard Harley Adaire knew that client Seth Wellington was going to be a challenge. The guy looked and talked like a wealthy businessman, but she wasn’t convinced he had the chops to pull off crime boss, which he’d need to to keep them both alive. Cynthia Eden's story is a fast-paced th

This was absolute pure perfection! From the first page I was totally hooked. With a tough, feisty heroine and a broken hero, I was rooting this couple on through every crazy twist and turn. This had so many surprises I didn't know what to expect next. I loved how this all played out as well as the introduction of new characters and the possibility of a new series! Filled with sizzling chemistry and moments of angsty heartache, this story consumed me. Best epilogue in a long time!
