    Summary

    “Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”
    -George Orwell, 1984

    Clarke and the rest of the delinquents run a con: they get people to fall in love with Clarke and marry her, then steal all of their money. They're imposters and they're good at it.

    But then Clarke meets her next mark, a woman named Lexa who is as closed off as Clarke herself; and with just as big a secret. When Clarke finds herself falling for her latest target, will they be able to trust each other despite the lies? Will they learn that maybe, just maybe, life can be about more than just surviving?
