In this episode Jamie, and Melissa discuss the novella, Redeeming the Swindler, by Jodi Basye. This story kicks off her Cross Family Saga.

Mary Armstrong and Charlie Cross do not meet under the best circumstances. She catches him swindling her friend. Not exactly the best first impression. Definitely not something you would think could lead to love.

However, Mary has a need to serve justice even if she is ill equipped to do so. This land’s her in a heap of trouble. Which of course, is where our hero Charlie comes in. Not only does he rescue her from her kidnappers, but he also safely escorts her home.

We all know you cannot have a life and death adventure with a handsome hero, without falling in love.
