Do you remember the movie Catch Me if You Can? It starred Leonardo DiCaprio as a con man who’d fooled a lot of people before turning to help the FBI. I’ve always been fascinated with that movie. So when Connor Randall—a reformed con artist—stepped onto the pages of In Pursuit of a Princess, I knew I’d have to write his story.
It was a tricky balance of showing his shady past while pushing him toward a complete redemption. Connor loves his baby sister, Deidre (who was also in my princess book), so he wants to redeem himself in her eyes. Deidre’s strong faith has left a lasting impression on Connor, too. When he meets Special Agent Josie Gilbert and realizes she’s the real deal, he also wants to show Josie that he’s changed. But Josie has her own reasons for not trusting anyone, so she can’t be conned or won over so easily.
I enjoyed this adventure with Connor and Josie and I hope you did, too. I believe there is good in all of us, so I’m glad Connor found his true calling and that he fell in love. I hope you will remember that no matter what you have in your past, God is always there ready to listen and stand by you.
Until next time, may the angels watch over you. Always.
