Publisher's Summary
She wants to steal the ring. He wants to steal her heart.
You are cordially invited as two con artists fake-date their way into the poshest wedding in town.
Single, broke, and about to be ejected from her London flat, Cat feels left behind by her friends, who are all either married or engaged. At least if she picked a few pockets when fellow wedding guests get handsy, no one's the wiser. No one, that is, except her favorite bartender, Jake, who has his own less-than-legal side hustle.
When she's unceremoniously fired and roped into bridesmaid duties for best frenemy Louisa, Cat can’t help but notice that Louisa’s priceless diamond engagement ring sure would solve a lot of problems. But Cat isn't as skilled a thief as Jake is, so to pull off the scheme of their lives, they'll have to pair up. From an engagement party on a boat to the bachelorette weekend in Palermo, Cat and Jake play cat and mouse with each other in a romantic charade. But who’s to say what’s real and what’s fake, when love and money are on the line?
What the critics say
"If you’ve ever had your weekend ruined and your budget broken by a so-called friend’s over-the-top wedding, Love And Other Scams is the book for you."—Katherine Heiny, author of Games and Rituals and Early Morning Riser
"Love and Other Scams is the definition of a rollicking romp! Ellis's sharp wit and masterfully drawn characters completely sucked me in from the first page. I had no idea where this story was going to go, and I loved every second of the ride! A true rom-com in every sense of the term, this book is full of hilarious hijinks, yet also tugged every one of my heartstrings. It's a pure delight!"—Falon Ballard, author of Lease On Love and Just My Type
"Fresh, fast paced and funny with a wonderfully warm cast of characters—it's everything you want and more from a book about diamonds, deceit and desire. I adored it."—Laura Kay, author of The Split and Wild Things
