The Tenderness of Thieves

A summer romance filled with danger and lies

All Jane Calvetti wants is a fantastic summer with her three best friends. Four months earlier, Jane was held at knifepoint during an armed robbery, and the specter of that night still haunts her. Her captors haven't been caught, and the police are relentless in asking her to relive that frightful event. So when Handel Davies—one of her town's sexy bad boys—begins to take interest in her, she thinks he's the one person this summer that can help her forget her past and make her heart whole again. But bad boys always have their secrets. Could falling for Handel be the most dangerous thing of all?
