β¦ Synopsis
Finley Cartwright is the queen of lost causes. That's why she's standing on a barstool trying to convince Friday night drinkers to donate money to her failing charity. Hitting on the guy on the next stool wasn't part of her plan. Still, hot but grumpy venture capitalist Caleb Sherwood might just be her ticket to success.
Professional grifter and modern-day Robin Hood, Cal Sherwood is looking for a partner for a long con. Sexy Fin, doing her best Marilyn Monroe act for her cause, has the necessary qualifications. By the time he cuts her free, her charity would be thriving, and she'd have helped him charm billions out of arrogant, gullible marks to fund his social justice causes.
But just when he thinks he's about to pull off the best con ever, his feisty new partner gets the upper hand.

Review
"Can I swear? Please? %#@@^@^%$ it! This was $#@%ing awesome. So awesome I might have read until 4 am, again. Everything about this book was perfect - I wanted it to be longer only because I wanted to read more but really there was nothing left in the story to tell. Everything was spot on - good tone, quality writing, well paced, no loose ends, amusement, heat, a little bit of annoyance at the idiot male. Great work overall." - 7000 Books and Counting Blog
"The build up of sexual tension was perfect and led in to some deliciously steamy moments. I also really liked the original premise for the story. It's unlike anything I've read lately." - Courtney H., Goodreads
"One Night Wife is one book that will definitely grab your attention simply because of it's uniqueness and lovable characters.It's a sweet, funny, sexy slow burn romance that will have you rooting for the good guys." -JGB, Goodreads
"This book is a stay-up-all-night-reading kind of story; I couldn't put it down." - Tanelle N., NetGalley
"It's witty and smart and I spent most of the book with absolutely no clue what was going to happen next. The characters are so well developed and their chemistry and banter are refreshing and fun." - Shea T., Goodreads
"I really love this book. Cal was tender and wonderful and didn't give himself enough credit for his capacity to love. Finley was strong in a way she didn't realize. Watching her realize that she could do the things were great. She didn't NEED Cal to do these things, he just made it better. I highly recommend this book. If you've loved any sort of books containing a caper of some sort, I think you will enjoy this." - Smexy Books
