Black Heart: Holly Black

Cassel Sharpe knows he`s been used as an assassin, but he`s trying to put all that behind him. He`s trying to be good, even though he grew up in a family of con artists and cheating comes as easily as breathing to him. He`s trying to do the right thing, even though the girl he loves is inextricably connected with crime. And he`s trying to convince himself that working for the Feds is smart, even though he`s been raised to believe the government is the enemy.

But with a mother on the lam, the girl he loves about to take her place in the Mob, and new secrets coming to light, the line between what`s right and what`s wrong becomes increasingly blurred. When the Feds ask Cassel to do the one thing he said he would never do again, he needs to sort out what`s a con and what`s truth. In a dangerous game and with his life on the line, Cassel may have to make his biggest gamble yet - this time on love.
