Rook to King (Love and Treasure, #2)

A romantic adventure Bodie King My entire life revolves around convincing people to do what I want. Some people call me a con man. Some people call me… other things. I prefer to call myself a broker. (I even made business cards, so it must be official.) Charming someone into helping me has never been a problem—until now. The Bennetto chess set is rumored to lead to a priceless fortune. Who better to find it than me? I need an authenticator to help me buy the missing pieces of the chess set. The problem is finding someone who knows the set but is still honest—a quality I lack. Enter Gracen Winthrop. She’s knowledgeable. Annoyingly trustworthy. And, most importantly, available. After some persuasion, she seems to catch the treasure hunting bug as well. Unfortunately, I don’t actually want to share. Now Gracen refuses to be left behind, despite a homicidal, grudge-holding ex-employee of mine chasing after us. I can’t protect her… but turns out she can handle herself just fine. The closer we get to the chess set, the slower I want to find it. Because once I find the missing pieces? I’m going to disappear into the sunset, never to see Gracen again. But Gracen has her own secrets… and how could I expect her to ever love a con?
