First Lie Wins

With so much on the line, Evie knows that First Lie Wins in every con, but she cannot afford to make a single mistake—especially after what happened the last time her past caught up with her. Caught in a thrilling game of deception where First Lie Wins the ultimate survival test, she must outsmart her employer and protect her heart before her elaborate web of lies collapses entirely.
