{"product_id":"2940158888601","title":"A Shameless Little Con","description":"I didn't do it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI never betrayed my friend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLast year, I was kidnapped along with presidential candidate's daughter Lindsay Bosworth, forced to help her assailants, my mother implicated in one of the biggest political scandals in American history.\u003cbr\u003eI've been cleared of any wrongdoing, but that doesn't matter. Once you're tried by the media, you're guilty as sin. The truth doesn't get the public's attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut shame? Shame sells.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd everyone assumes you're tainted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow I have my own personal security team, courtesy of the United States government. Not the one you learned about in civics class, though.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI'm being tracked by the deep state. The shadow government. They've assigned Silas Gentian to be with me twenty-four seven. He thinks he knows everything about me – all of it bad -- and he does.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn paper.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike everyone else, he assumes I'm a traitor. A backstabber. A betrayer. Someone who helped a group of violent psychopaths, puppets of powerful men in Washington who made me into a tool.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet I see how he looks at me. True desire can't be faked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOr hidden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd that goes both ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe assumes I'm trying to fool him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd he might be right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut not for the reasons he thinks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA Shameless Little Con is the first book in the Shameless trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine.","brand":"Meli Raine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158058156272,"sku":"2940158888601","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158888601_p0.jpg?v=1764125876","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158888601","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
