Hack (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781839439483)

An online criminal craves real-life danger, but her flawed instincts may cost her new crew everything.

Rafael Santos didn't get the nickname 'Goldie Locks' for his shimmering blond curls. His hair is as black as his criminal heart. No, it's his Midas touch. His ability to earn-coupled with a love for theft and technology-has gained him the coveted Number Two position in the Covington Heights crew. The problem is...after a murder that sent their regular clients packing, even his numbers are down. Now, finding new sources of illegal income is his number one priority.

Marigold Pfeifer is the fairy princess of online deceit. She can slip her computer viruses into a system at the blink of an eye and steal personal information in a twinkly flash. And that's exactly what she does when screen name 'GoldieLocks' slides into her instant messenger. What'd he expect? A gift card?

But when the naïve hacker rides the train uptown to check out mysterious Covington Heights, she's approached by the leader of the crew and forced to think fast on her feet. A hate-filled rivalry sparks between her and Rafael-and with it a deviously sinful attraction.

Will real-life criminals and the danger they breed be enough to wise up the goth-pixie with zero street smarts when she must navigate dark waters-or will her flawed instincts burn all she's worked for to the ground?
