Too bad she can’t seem to lose her gorgeous-but-infuriating ex-husband Rafer Jones. And now he needs her help. His cousin, Harley, is in trouble…big trouble.As the president of a too-big-to-fail bank, he invested an astronomical amount of money in insuring some of the world’s most priceless artifacts at the urging of his board. It seemed like a low-risk, high-reward business move, so he jumped in with both feet. But recently, these insured pieces started going missing and worse, there’s no paper trail of Harley being directed to make these risky investments. Unless the artwork can be recovered soon, it looks like Harley is going to be heading to jail as the fall guy for an ingenious crime.Gabriela knows what she must do: travel around the world with Rafer to find the missing works of art, keep Harley out of jail, and save both his skin and his bank. Along the way, she’ll encounter corruption, threats, murder, mysterious dark forces behind a global conspiracy to destroy the world’s wealth, and a nefarious villain who will stop at nothing to bring the world to the brink of ruin.Janet Evanovich is the #1 New York Times bestselling author whose Stephanie Plum series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide and essentially defined modern comedic mystery. With The Recovery Agent series, Evanovich applies her signature blend of humor, sexual tension, and high-stakes adventure to a globe-trotting premise that lets her heroine hunt everything from lost treasures to stolen masterpieces. Evanovich’s genius lies in creating heroines who are competent enough to handle dangerous situations but relatable enough to feel like your funniest, most adventurous friend.Why I’m including this: Evanovich understands that forced proximity with your infuriating ex-husband while chasing international art thieves is premium entertainment. Gabriela and Rafer have all the chemistry that made readers fall in love with Stephanie Plum and her two competing love interests, but with the added appeal of exotic locations and the art world’s high-stakes glamour. The premise hits the sweet spot between Ocean’s Eleven heist vibes and romantic comedy—they’re racing around the world to recover priceless artifacts before Rafer’s cousin goes to prison, all while navigating the unresolved tension between two people who couldn’t make their marriage work but can’t seem to stay away from each other. The global conspiracy angle raises the stakes beyond a simple art recovery mission, promising the kind of escalating danger and last-minute saves that make Evanovich’s books so addictive. If you’ve been reading Stephanie Plum for years and want something fresh from Evanovich, or if you’ve loved romantic adventure novels like Christina Lauren’s The Unhoneymooners but want more action and international intrigue, Gabriela Rose delivers that same irresistible combination of will-they-won’t-they romance and genuine danger. This is beach-read escapism at its finest—funny, sexy, fast-paced, and featuring a heroine who can track down stolen Rembrandts while trading barbs with the one man who still makes her heart race.Heart Of A GoonAfrican American Women’s Urban FictionZoya:Ever saw a dead body?I’ll ask again.Ever saw a dead body walking among us?I’ve been dead on the inside since my parents were taken away from me, and I was forced to move out the only home I knew.Never truly ever knowing love or what it felt like.
