From Amazon:

‘I can be anything you want me to be. Even if you don’t know you want it.’

Café owner Kate is mentally drained after a tough two years; all she wants from her online chess partner is entertainment on lonely evenings, and maybe a little virtual flirtation.

She is unaware that Nico Lewis is a highly intelligent con artist who, with an intricately spun web of lies about their emotional connection, will soon convince her that he is The One.

Neither does Kate know that his schemes involve women who seek love on dating sites, as well as his small publishing business. A host of excited authors believe Nico is about to make their dreams come true.

Terry Tyler’s twenty-fourth publication is a sinister psychological drama that highlights the dark side of internet dating—and the danger of ignoring the doubts of your subconscious.

My Review:

This novel was intense for sure. People can be jealous over things that don’t have anything to do with them. But I’m ahead of myself. Online dating sites. Never been on any, never will. This novel reinforces that some people you meet are NOT who they portray, no matter how skilled they are in their deceit. Nico is good at that. But Nico is also greedy and he doesn’t follow the ground rules that his team have in not scamming a poor person, only setting up with with plenty of money. That is one of his downfalls. This novel has it all, romance, in many ways, murder in a couple different ways, people with a gazillion aliases, friends who are not who they appear to be, deceit is rampant. That deceit comes forth in this twisted novel that is truly more than intense.
