Shiny and Shameless — Mina V. Esguerra

It does seem crazy that Jane del Mundo has been living in Manila, pretending to be socialite "Elizabeth Madrid," for this long. You'd think something was keeping her there. Maybe a warped sense of obligation to her mother's con artist best friend Margaux. Or an unhealthy physical attraction to fellow high-class thief Gabriel. Or she could still be around because the score of her lifetime, the one she's been planning for as long as she can remember, is still on. She's a woman on a mission, and her revenge is good as gold. Jane's story began in YOUNG AND SCAMBITIOUS and PROPERLY SCANDALOUS. SHORT STORY / 10,000 WORDS / CONTEMPORARY / ADULT LANGUAGE AND SITUATIONS
