White-Collar Crimes #3
The Long Con
It was supposed to be
one
job…
Miriam Jackson’s life is not going to plan. She dropped out of MIT, she’s flat broke, and now a Chinese bookie has her ass in a sling. So when smooth-talking grifter Diego Cabrera bails her out, her only way to pay him back is to help him with a con. Once.
But that’s before she meets Eddie Wheeler. He’s the muscle in the operation, and boy does he have plenty of it. She figures he’ll be as shallow as a puddle, but turns out he’s sweet and thoughtful and makes her laugh. So when money troubles make her approach Diego about pulling another job, she’s not too upset—as long as Eddie’s along for the ride.
But as two heists turns into three, Eddie’s evolving from a friend into something more. Miriam’s desire for him is growing, but a deep-seated fear from her past keeps holding her back. And when someone new joins the crew, every relationship is about to be turned upside down overnight.
The Long Con is a friends-to-lovers slow burn romance featuring high-stakes hacking, daring heists, and plenty of twists along the way.

About the author
Alex Berg
19 books4 followersPen name of German author Stefanie Baumm.
Hi. I’m author Alex Berg. I write contemporary romances and rom-coms. My novels tend to feature clever, capable female protagonists and flawed male protagonists with hearts of gold. I try to keep them fun and flirty, with plenty of banter and even some thrills along the way. Most of them are dual POV, but there are some exceptions to the rule. And of course, every single one comes with a happily-ever-after ending.
In addition to romance, I love crime and heist novels, mystery novels, and anything that tickles my funny bone. To learn more about me and my books, visit alexpberg.com/romance.
