Book Description

Molly Miranda makes very good money doing very bad things. (I only steal stuff from rich people. Mostly. Calm down.) Jewels, art, historical artifacts—nothing is safe when this professional thief is on the job. (That makes it sound so sinister.) Lying to everyone you love is second nature when you work in that particular industry. The truth, however, becomes a little harder to hide when she falls into bed with her roommate/crush. Avoiding dealing with the unpleasantness of feelings, Molly takes an assignment in Scotland and is paired up with an untrustworthy wildcard. It doesn’t help that her new partner-in-crime is super annoying. And devastatingly handsome… (Are you suggesting there’s something between me and him? hahahahaha No. Just no.) When a mission doesn’t go according to plan, she wonders if it’s time to hang up her burglar mask for good and try having a normal life with a normal job. And a lot less trespassing. (Snore. Borrrring.) Join Molly on her hilarious adventures as she dodges bullets, wears disguises, and steals her way into trouble. Perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series or comedies by Meg Cabot. Shortlisted for the 2016 Prince Edward Island Book Award.

Praise for Molly Miranda “How much fun is this? I’m loving the debut from Hamilton—now I need more about her sassy, sometimes awkward and always brave heroine, Molly Miranda. Stealing other people’s stuff has never been so charming. Bravo!” - Patti Larsen, award-winning author of the Hayle Coven series "It's tense and smart-alecky. It's likeable without being sweet. It's sexy and tough, and as apt to kick you in the pants as to kiss you on the cheek." - Award-winning author Leo McKay Jr. "Molly Miranda is a fun read with some good messages of self awareness and identity laced through the humour and suspense." - Author Natalie Corbett Sampson
