4th June 2024
We’re wishing Lady Eve’s Last Con by Rebecca Fraimow a very happy book birthday! It’s out today in the US and will be released in the UK on Thursday 6 June.
Con artist Ruth’s quest for revenge against the man who broke her sister’s heart is complicated when she meets his unfairly attractive sister in this sapphic sci-fi rom-com!
Ruth Johnson and her sister Jules have been small-time hustlers on the interstellar cruise lines for years. But then Jules fell in love with one of their targets, Esteban Mendez-Yuki, sole heir to the family insurance fortune. Esteban seemed to love her too, until she told him who she really was, at which point he fled without a word.
Now Ruth is set on revenge: disguised as provincial debutante Evelyn Ojukwu and set for the swanky satellite New Monte, she’s going to make Esteban fall in love with her, then break his heart and take half his fortune. At least, that’s the plan. But Ruth hadn’t accounted for his older sister, Sol, a brilliant mind in a dashing suit… and much harder to fool.
Sol is hot on Ruth’s tail, and as the two women learn each other’s tricks, Ruth must decide between going after the money and going after her heart.
“A delightful story about what happens when the billionaire target of your galactic revenge plot has a terrifyingly sexy half-sister. It’s got zest, it’s got style, it’s got society balls, dramatic reversals, incredible outfits, and a beach episode. Fraimow knows exactly what she’s doing.” —Emily Tesh, author of Some Desperate Glory
“Wildly fun and incredibly romantic, all the glitter of the Jazz Age and the brilliance of space opera in one story.” —Everina Maxwell, author of Winter’s Orbit
“Compulsively readable and totally delightful.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
