Description
"The suspense never stops in this edgy, violent thriller. Readers will be riveted and ready for more" from the national bestselling author of The Score (Booklist).
Two for the money . . .
Identity thief Lauren Kelly thought she was safe. The millions she stole from her double-crossing accomplice and ex-lover Matt Connors bought a quiet upscale life for her, her unsuspecting new husband Derek, and their precious baby. But betrayal was just the beginning . . .
 
Three to throw down . . .
When both Derek and the baby go missing, it's courtesy of a vengeful Matt. Lauren has less than twenty-four hours to give him back the money. She's prepared for any payback—but nothing can keep this exchange from going all-the-way wrong . . .
 
No price is too high . . .
Now Lauren lives to hunt Matt down. She'll strip away his fortune, work all his weaknesses—and destroy his every strength. But she's heading straight into an insidious trap that could turn sweet revenge into mutually-assured destruction . . .

        January 1, 2017
        As street-lit star Swinson (The Score, 2016) continues her Score series, former street hustler turned identity thief Lauren has stolen money from the former partners, including Mark, who betrayed her. She is now ready for a quiet life with her new family. But after her newborn baby is kidnapped from the New York hospital just hours after she gives birth, Mark demands that she return the money she stole from him. He also kidnaps her husband, Derek, as she scrambles to get the funds together. When she finds her husband murdered, she tracks Mark down South, where he forces her back into a life of crime. To protect her son, she goes along with it all, secretly planning revenge on Mark and his new partners. Swinson vividly depicts the abuse Mark inflicts, along with the strength Lauren finds to carry out her mission of rescue and vengeance. The suspense never stops as Lauren fights for her son in this edgy, violent thriller. Readers will be riveted and ready for more.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
