The must-have beach read this summer. She stole her sister's life. Now someone's trying to steal it back . . .

Alvie Knightly worked hard for her money. Some might disagree - but it isn't easy to cheat your way to a fortune.

So when she wakes up one morning to discover that every penny has disappeared - and that her hot new boyfriend, Nino, has disappeared with it - she's furious.

Tracking Nino to Rome, Alvie's determined to do whatever it takes to get her money back... and take sweet revenge on Nino in the process.

But can she win back her perfect life before her crimes catch up with her?
