Line of Fire (Trust Me novella)
What was lost must stay that way...
Dani left Julep behind to secure Julep’s safety, but that doesn’t mean Dani’s work is done. In the spirit of keeping one’s enemies closer, she’s making sure Petrov doesn’t go anywhere near Julep or her friends, especially when Petrov’s mysterious plans bring his crew—and Dani—back to Chicago.
She isn’t in town long before her ex-girlfriend Han cashes in the favor Dani owes her, sending her off on a supposedly simple delivery errand, only the package is three small children. The mission goes sideways, turning an easy handoff into a frantic escape from an unknown enemy, and forcing Dani to decide how much she is willing to risk. Because saving the children from the dismal fate that awaits them puts Dani squarely in the line of fire.
Will Dani have to sacrifice more than her freedom this time?

Teen con-artist and master of disguise, Julep Dupree, tells lies. A lot of them. Her father is an old-school grifter with a weakness for the ponies who sends his daughter to a swanky private school so she can learn to mingle with the upper crust. But for extra spending money Julep doesn’t rely on her dad – she runs petty scams for her classmates while dodging the dean of students and maintaining an A+ (okay, A-) average.
Julep has it under control, until she returns home one afternoon to discover the place ransacked and her father missing. Have his criminal ways caught up with him? Julep will have to use every trick in her book to get to the bottom of this nasty business...
Fans of Ally Carter, especially her Heist Society readers, will love this teen mystery/thriller with sarcastic wit, a hint of romance, and Ocean’s Eleven-inspired action.
