The Time Of My Heist
by S.K. Golden

A fast-moving action comedy blending crime and romance, with all the thrills of a blockbuster.

Fake dating can be murder!

All Shepherd wants is to live a quiet life, as a single dad and owner of a successful pizza restaurant while managing his ever-present anxiety. But against his better judgement, he’s somehow found himself agreeing to become the fake boyfriend of Ginny—the employee he’s definitely not in love with—in order to appease her terrifying mother.

When her mother gets kidnapped from a murder scene, Shepherd finds himself in way over his head. Now he must navigate Ginny’s massively dysfunctional family, several organized crime syndicates, pull off a heist, and solve the crime—or risk being implicated for a murder he might accidentally have committed.

As the stakes get higher, every clue brings him close to Ginny, and to the truth. But the biggest crime of all might just be the way she is stealing his heart . . .

The Time of My Heist is perfect for fans of Sara Desai, Janet Evanovich and Sarah Fox.

Reviews

“Blood and gore, white-knuckle suspense, clever double-crosses, wacky humor, and colorful characters plus a happy ending make this the perfect escapist read”

Booklist on Stolen Pieces

“Gangsters, thieves, CIA agents, double-crossing allies, and a foul-mouthed forger with a heart of gold”

Kirkus Reviews on Stolen Pieces

“The heroine’s serenely coy sensibility vividly evokes the 1950s”

Kirkus Reviews on The Socialite’s Guide to Death and Dating

“Channels the spirit of the late Hugh Pentecost’s Beaumont Hotel. Readers will be eager to check into Evelyn’s next adventure”

Publishers Weekly on The Socialite’s Guide to Murder

“A catty yet decorous whodunit festooned with period trappings”

Kirkus Reviews on The Socialite’s Guide to Murder

“This first novel—and likely the first in a series—effectively evokes the social milieu of the late 1950s, hiding Evelyn’s intellect behind a fluffy indulged façade”

Booklist on The Socialite’s Guide to Murder

“Nonstop entertainment—at turns witty, charming, touching, and spellbinding”

Kelly Oliver, award-winning author of the Fiona Figg Mysteries, on The Socialite’s Guide to Murder

“This book has all the things I love in a mystery novel—a unique sleuth, a quirky cast of suspects, and a twisty whodunnit”

C. J. Archer , USA Today bestselling author of the Cleopatra Fox Mysteries, on The Socialite's Guide to Murder
