Street Elite: the Life of a Con Artist

What happens when everything you've been taught to survive collides with the chance to finally live?

Cove Woodruff has spent her entire life telling lies.

Raised by a mother who saw her daughters as nothing more than partners in crime, Cove learned early that trust is a weakness, love is a con, and survival always comes first. Every smile is calculated. Every identity is borrowed. Every job is another step toward the next payday. But when her mother presents her with their biggest score yet, Cove can't shake the feeling that this one is different.

Her target isn't an unsuspecting millionaire.

Wave has built his empire through the shadows, turning Rowe Boats into the perfect front for a thriving smuggling operation. After his wife walked away, leaving him to raise their children alone, he's devoted himself to protecting the family he has left. He's learned the hard way that most people want something from him, and finding someone who genuinely cares for his children feels impossible.

Then Cove walks into his life.

What begins as another carefully orchestrated deception quickly becomes something neither of them expects. The more time Cove spends with Wave and his children, the more the life she's always known begins to unravel. For the first time, she's forced to question whether she's capable of being more than the woman her mother created.

But lies have consequences.

As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Cove must decide whether to follow the only path she's ever known or risk everything for a future she never believed she deserved. And when the truth finally comes to light, Wave will have to determine if the woman who deceived him is also the one worth fighting for.

Sometimes the greatest con is convincing yourself you don't deserve a second chance.
