FILLED WITH BANTER AND HEART

The Wedding Con

Releasing September 30th, 2025

Is love real or just another con?

Naomi Moreno has big plans for her family’s struggling High Desert Tours—going into the wedding business. After watching her father make one risky decision too many, Naomi’s committed to doing things right… and definitely not falling for smooth talkers with unknown agendas.

Boone Reyes was raised by con artists. He’s worked hard to leave that world behind, aiming for a legit future—and a job as a rock climbing instructor could be the start. To win Naomi’s trust, he offers a deal: he’ll help her snag new wedding clients for the hot air balloon business if she trains with him on the rocks. (Finding marks at a wedding convention should be easy for an ex-con artist, right?)

As business grows and their chemistry builds, Naomi starts to wonder if she misjudged Boone. But when his recently paroled father shows up, convinced Boone’s working a new con without him, everything The Chase Crew has built is about to fall apart.

Content Note:

Take care, as this book does deal with the past loss of a parent, parental abandonment, conning people, loss of home and being kicked out. This book does have some adult language and open-door love scenes.
