Dear Thief


Book Description

“You were going to work your way into my marriage and you were going to call its new three-way shape holy,” writes the unnamed narrator of Dear Thief. The thief is Nina, or Butterfly, who disappeared eighteen years earlier and who is being summoned by this letter, this bomb, these recollections, revisions, accusations, and confessions. “Sometimes I imagine, out of sheer playfulness, that I am writing this as a kind of defence for having murdered and buried you under the patio.” Dear Thief is a letter to an old friend, a song, a jewel, and a continuously surprising triangular love story. Samantha Harvey writes with a dazzling blend of fury and beauty about the need for human connection and the brutal vulnerability that need exposes. “While I write my spare hand might be doing anything for all you know; it might be driving a pin into your voodoo stomach.” Here is a rare novel that traverses the human heart in original and indelible ways.

Busted


Book Description

What if my dad's best friend finds out all my books' sexy heroes are based on him? If it hadn't been for that mean professor sophomore year, I never would have written an essay about my crush on Navy surgeon Commander Aiden McBride. (Yes, he's just as deliciously stern as that sounds.) And if it hadn't been for my new best friend Ingrid, I wouldn't have thought to turn the essay into the steamy novel that launched my career as an indie romance author. I'm grateful, really! There's just a couple of teeny-tiny things I would do differently if I had it to do over again. But thankfully you can update ebooks, so nobody ever has to know. Phew! I've never expected Aiden to see me as anything but his best friend's daughter, and I'm okay with that. He mostly ignores me anyway. But graduation means I'm too old to hide behind a school-girl infatuation. It's time to move on. If he'll let me, that is. Because somehow Aiden found out what I did. He's not happy. And now I seem to be falling deeper in love. You can tell me the truth - am I totally screwed? Busted is a full-length standalone romance with no cliffhanger and an HEA.

Violet's goal is clear-to finish college and work alongside her father and uncle at their family business-but she has one major problem. The dreaded Professor Torres, head of the Architectural Department at Tulane, has a reputation as one of the toughest teachers on campus. Violet has heard more than once that he can be a downright jerk, but she's determined to not let him get in her way. He might be a successful professor, but his personal life is nothing short of a mess... Diego Torres has the worst track record when it comes to women-which is why when he first lays eyes on his new student, he assumes she's like all the other superficial Barbie dolls he's always been attracted to. But it only takes a few encounters for him to realize he couldn't have been more wrong, and the more time he spends with Violet, the more he desires her in a way no professor should desire a student. Sometimes it's impossible to walk away, even when there's so much at stake... After desperately trying avoid crossing that thin ethical line, Diego and Violet are no longer able to deny the sexual tension between them and risk everything, falling into an all-consuming, passionate relationship. But when outsiders threaten to destroy it all, Diego has no choice but to make a life-altering decision for himself and the woman he is forbidden to love. As lines between student and professor begin to blur, the consequences might end up destroying them both...
