Irresistible Robards, Karen

A wealthy heiress who's sworn off love. A con man pretending to be her fiancé. And a luxury yacht where everything that can go wrong, does. Karen Robards delivers a high-stakes romance where Claire Banning — who's just discovered her last boyfriend was after her fortune — finds herself stuck on a Caribbean cruise with Finn, a charming thief she once helped send to prison. He's out now, crashing her trip with a fake engagement story to save his own skin. The tension crackles as old grudges collide with undeniable chemistry, and Claire has to decide whether Finn's reformed or just running another con. Robards writes sharp banter and simmering attraction better than most, and this one doesn't let up. Perfect for when you want a smart, sexy romance with actual stakes and characters who aren't just waiting around to fall in love.
