Hairstylist Jess Greene has spent the last decade raising her younger half-sister, Teganβand keeping a shocking secret. Ever since their reckless mother ran off with a boyfriend sheβd known only a few months, Jess has been aware that heβs the same accomplished con man who was the subject of a wildly popular podcast, The Last Con of Lynton Baltimore.
Now thirty-one, Jess didnβt bargain on Tegan eventually piecing together the connection for herself. But Tegan plans to do exactly what Jess has always fearedβleave their safe, stable home to search for their motherβand sheβll be accompanied by the prying podcast host and her watchful, handsome producer, Adam Hawkins. Unwilling to let the sister sheβs spent so much of her life protecting go it alone, Jess reluctantly joins them.
Together, the four make their way across the country, unraveling the mystery of where the couple disappeared to and why. But soon Jess is discovering other things too. Like a renewed sense of vulnerability and curiosity, and a willingness to expand beyond the walls sheβs so carefully built. And in Adam, she finds an unexpected connection she didnβt even know was missing, if only she can let go and let him in . . .
