"The pretender" by James Patterson and Andrew Bourelle.
This book was published by BookShots in 2016 and has 98 pages.
Logan Bishop, an ex thief, is leading quiet life in Lake Tahoe basin. He meets a newspaper reporter, Hannah, and a beautiful blond, Claire, within a space of few days. He also gets unwanted publicity. Instead of retrieving his diamonds from lake Aloha and disappearing, he decides to stay.
Will his real identity become known? Will he be interested in either of the two ladies? Where had he hidden the diamonds? Can he keep pretending?
It's a BookShot book. So the story is short, fast and book can be read in one sitting. It's a focused story.
Old enmity is revived when Logan becomes famous. The diamonds are a strong attraction for his old partner. Two beautiful ladies form integral part of the story.
Logan is a thief but wants tho leave that life behind and start a new life. He is good looking, well built, fit but an introvert. He does not seem female company due to this shyness. But he is decisive, intelligent and has nerves of steel.
Narration is good. Story is crisp. Plot is limited and hence focused. However, why Logan does not change his name when he is in hiding is incomprehensible. End of the story is predictable.

What I didn't like? Predictability.
What did I like? Focus.
