Liar Liar

Just another day at the office.

For some people that means spreadsheets, and for others it's stitching endless hems. For Jacob Archer a day at the office is stealing proprietary information from a bioengineering firm f or a paranoid software billionaire. He's a liar and a thief, parlaying a glib tongue and a facile conscience into a lucrative career. He just has one rule-never get involved with a mark.

Well, had one rule. To be fair, though, Simon Ramsey is dark, dangerous, and has shoulders like a Greek statue. Besides, it's not as though Jacob's even really stealing from Simon... just his boss and his brother-in-law. Simon didn't buy that excuse either after he caught Jacob breaking into the company's computer network.

That would have been that-one messy breakup, one ticket to Bali booked-but it turns out that the stolen information is worth more than Jacob thought. With his life-and his ribs-threatened, Jacob needs Simon to help him out. Or maybe he just needs Simon.
