Dani is street wise and a master con-artist. When she impersonates an assistant at the Palm D'Or Gallery where her friend Erin is showcasing her art for the first time, Dani decides to use her skills to deceive Rand Sterling Winston IV into paying three times the value for a painting. What Dani doesn't count on is the “Golden Boy” specifically asking for Dani to personally deliver his newest art acquisition.
Rand Sterling Winston IV knows he's met his match when he's knowingly conned by the beautiful woman posing as an assistant at an art showing he's attending. He's instantly drawn to this woman who massages his huge ego and decides to play along in her game. When Dani Michaels shows up at his office with his painting, he is shocked when she calls his bluff and prefers to be arrested and put in a jail cell for theft rather than have dinner with him. At that point the stakes are upped and a new game moves them to an entirely different level.
The protagonists begin a dangerous game of oneupmanship, fueled by the sexually charged chemistry that flows freely between them. Scoring virtual points against each other is a way to breakdown barriers. Both protagonists are strong-willed - each trying to push the other as far as they can before reaching breaking point. Only they both have different end games in play. Leaving you to wonder if they are capable of having a relationship on equal playing field? Neither protagonists are who you think they are as the layers of their fake facades are peeled away. These are two damaged people from completely different worlds that against the odds and over time manage to somehow gel and “get” each other.
This is book four in the Rule Changers Series and the second one I have read. Like the previous book, Risk It can be read as a standalone.
