“It was a shame that none of it meant anything. It was a shame that, despite the rather dire situation I was in, I was smarting like some stupid girl who thought she had something more than a one-night stand.”
“I finally breathed out when he tucked a strand of hair behind his ears. His ears kind of stuck out, like Dumbo. This was good. This stranger had flaws. I couldn't stand perfect people.”
From:
Ellie Watt is used to
starting over. The daughter of a grifting team, Ellie spent her
childhood being used as a pawn in her parents' latest scam. Now she’s
much older, wiser and ready to give her con artist life a rest. But
returning to the dry desert town of Palm Valley, California means one
more temptation than she bargained for – Camden McQueen. Once known as
the high school weirdo, Camden is bigger and badder than the boy he used
to be and a talented tattoo artist with his own thriving business.
Ellie’s counting on Camden still being in love with her but what she’s
not counting on is how easily unrequited love can turn into obsession
over time. When Camden discovers Ellie’s plan to con him, he makes her a
deal she doesn’t dare refuse, but her freedom comes with a price and
it’s one that takes both Ellie and Camden down a dangerous road.
**The
Artists Trilogy is a dark and sexy contemporary ride about three flawed
individuals caught in a world where it's so easy to justify the bad
things we do. This is a pure adult read (Not YA or NA).**
It's nice when the guy is not always completely perfect. Sounds like an interesting read. Hope you're enjoying it.

I've heard great things about Karina Halle's work. Those are great teasers, too. I stick mostly to YA, but this one has caught my interest! Thanks for sharing & stopping by my teaser! Happy Tuesday! :D
