Stone Cold Fox

  ~ I received no compensation and opinions are 100% my own or my family. ~




Synopsis:  After a lifetime of forced instruction in the art of swindling men by her mother, Bea wants nothing more than to escape her shadow, close the door on their sordid past, and disappear safely into old-money domesticity. When Bea finds her final mark in the perfectly dull blue-blooded Collin, she’s ready to deploy all her tricks one last time. The challenge isn’t getting the ring, but rather the approval of Collin’s family and everyone else in their tax bracket, particularly his childhood best friend Gale. Going toe-to-toe with Gale isn’t a threat to an expert like Bea, but what begins as an amusing cat-and-mouse game quickly develops into a dangerous chase. As the truth of Bea’s past threatens to come roaring out, she finds herself racing against the clock to pass the finish line before everything is exposed.

Advance Praise for STONE COLD FOX:

“A blast of perfectly wicked escapism.”Paste Magazine

 

“This thriller is sexy, darkly funny, and filled with rich people behaving badly, begging the question: 
who really is the villain here?”—HelloGiggles

 

“This clever tale of jealousy, revenge, deception, and betrayal marks
Croft as a writer to watch.”—Publishers Weekly
