About this ebook

My tall, dark, and dangerous new boss warned me not to enter his secret room...


After I manage to get my heart shattered and my life torn to shreds, the only place I can hide and heal is an old house left to me by my uncle in a small town off the coast of Maine. The entire area is an enigma. As is the gruff, reclusive lighthouse keeper who offers me a job...as long as I don't ask him any questions or go poking my nose where it doesn't belong.


Strange? Yes. Tempting? Unbearably.


But this stoic man and his secrets are impossible to resist.


Why is he such a loner? Can his mysterious past possibly be as messy as mine? How can two people as guarded as we are have such turbulent chemistry together?


And seriously, what is in the room he ordered me never to enter?

THE SECRET THIEF by Nina Lane is a contemporary, adult, stand alone romance focusing on art history professor Dr. Eve Perrin, and lighthouse keeper / recluse Flynn Alverton. Told from first person point of view (Eve) and third person (Flynn) THE SECRET THIEF follows Dr. Eve Perrin as she embarks on a new journey in life. Exiled from the art world for sins of the past Eve goes in search of peace and anonymity in the small seaside town of Castille, Maine where she finds comfort in the small cottage she inherited from her Uncle Max. With limited money and no job on the horizon our heroine is offered a position, sorting and cataloguing a library of books, from the town recluse. Enter Flynn Alverton, and the man with whom Eve will fall in love. What ensues is the slow building relationship between Flynn and Eve; the potential fall out as Eve’s past comes to the surface, and a local threat from an unlikely source. The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and energetic-from business owners to the town political elite wherein Eve’s history will become town gossip, and Flynn’s past will come to bear in his growing love for our story line heroine. Nina Lane has the ability to seduce the reader into her story lines. We become one with the characters as the author slowly awakens our senses and arouses the possibilities of a happily ever after. There are several familiar scenarios reminiscent of the author’s Spiral of Bliss series-a series that will seduce the romance lover in every one. The attraction between Eve and Flynn is palpable but Flynn keeps secret his past-a past mired in guilt and grief. The fairy-tale romance is a reflection of Beauty and the Beast with all of the townspeople who struggle to accept the stranger in the woods. Vengeance will pursue our couple threatening the safety and quiet they have both been seeking. THE SECRET THIEF is a poetic and beautiful love story; a magical ride where Hans Christian Anderson and the Grimm Fairy-tales are woven into a tale of healing, second chances, romance, heartbreak and love. The premise is breath taking and heart warming; the romance is sensual and captivating; the characters are broken, edgy and flawed. Nina Lane’s imagination is inspiring, enchanting and wondrous.

I’ve read a few books by Nina Lane before, but none prepared me for this one. The Secret Thief was in a world of its own and the best of this author’s that I’ve had the privilege to read. It’s just so beautifully written and full of emotions, romance, thrills and passion and of course- secrets. I felt connected to Flynn and Eve from the first page, they were so engaging and the story kept me on my toes wondering what was going to happen next. This book is well worth reading, so One-Click now, you won’t be sorry.

As a poet, I am a lover of words. The Secret Thief fed into my love of prose using lyrical delivery and imaginative dialogue. Nina Lane used beautiful words and captivating emotion to unite two broken people. Flynn and Eve are in need of a second chance. Ms. Lane gave them the courage to find one. With each other. A surreal love song, that needs to be experienced.
