About this ebook

Con artist Austin Shaw's been in disguise so long he's not sure where his fake identities end and he begins. Now that he's been strong-armed into working for a specialized undercover unit working with the Chicago police—criminals with unique “skills”—the last thing he needs is to risk his iron control. Especially when it comes to a certain stunningly sexy hacker who tempts him with every look of disdain.

Polly Banks will never, ever trust a con man. On the trail of a ruthless crook who destroyed the only family she's ever known, Polly is unnerved by the shadow who follows her every move. The one who makes her pulse pound and breath short with lust. Austin. He's infuriating, enigmatic, and pure sex appeal, and she's determined to resist him.

But an untrustworthy man of disguise can become anyone he wants...including a man that Polly must trust if she's to escape their dangerous game alive.

Ratings and reviews

This book's story line was easy to get into, as it reminded me of "Leverage" and "White Collar", two television shows I love. I did have a bit of trouble getting into the love scenes, though, as I've never read a book with a submissive-ish hero before. I enjoyed the banter and humor between the characters, and though the ending was a surprise, I think it was fitting for the type of person Austin was trying to become. I received a copy of this book via NetGalley & Entangled Publishing in exchange for my review.

Another great read in the Crossing the Line series. Austin and Polly, the con artist and the hacker, make a unique couple and have an even more unique story. Polly is determined to resist Austin but the attraction and chemistry is too much. And then there's the dirty talk....sigh, but trust him?? No way. That is until her life depends on it! Definitely a book I recommend.

These two, just, everything they do, everything they say, all their interactions, are layered and steeped in heat! Boiling point indeed 😊
