My Kind of Trouble

'Binge-worthy, vibrant and bursting with life' COURTNEY KAE

Harmony Hale has been putting the art in con-artist for years. Now, she's finally ready to take down the town mayor who ruined her father's life. But Harmony's tried-and-tested con - selling a non-existent music festival - requires her to win over the insufferably stubborn librarian who could lease her the land for the festival site.

Autistic librarian Preston Jones spends his days fighting conservative book challengers and looking after his younger sister Lacey. He has no time for a romance like the ones in his books - and certainly none for the brash festival promoter knocking down his door.

Preston sees things in black and white, and Harmony is nothing but trouble. But when Harmony promises to help save Preston's library programs, he begins to wonder if this hustler with a heart of gold might be the one he's been waiting for.

With Harmony's con coming to a crescendo, she must choose between revenge and running again, or the happily ever after she never saw coming...
