Candice Fitz-Gibbins

Candice Fitz-Gibbins is a cousin of the late thief Cash Oliver, which makes her one of the few living relatives of his son, Buck. She works at a small-town diner, where she comes across as warm, gracious, and almost impossible to dislike. That charm is a mask. Beneath it she is a calculating schemer, the true mastermind behind the Goldwyn break-in, and her interest in family is anything but sentimental. When Buck's adoption by Eugene and Katrina Meltsner was nearly complete, Candice surfaced as a long-lost relative and put forward a rival bid to adopt the boy herself. Her sudden appearance rattled the Meltsners, who quietly visited the diner to size her up and drove home shaken by how likable she seemed.
