Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life's unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Colas, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free/She doesn't seem to know how unhappy she should be. Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narrator-edge of despair to edge of despair-and, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away the reader's preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love and the art of fiction. In her last book she takes readers close to the true mystery of life and leave us deep in Lispector territory indeed.

Royce Devereaux isn't your average sexy professor. He has a lot of rules in his professional and personal life. He keeps both worlds separated. He has to. He's somewhat of a public figure-and yes, he's made enemies climbing to the top. Being a world-famous paleontology professor doesn't mix well with his romantic life. He likes his sex rough, and a whole lot of naughty. Which means his students are 100% off limits. There's just one problem. His new graduate student assistant, Kenzie. She looks at him like a kid looks at birthday cake, and he doesn't like it. Except, he does. He likes it too much. She's feisty and smart-which only makes him want to tie her up and master her body. And her buttoned-up librarian look-it makes him want to strip her naked…slowly. He has to find a way to ignore her. It's only one semester. Right? But when an enemy decides to use Kenzie to force his hand, Royce has no choice but to keep her close. Very, very close. His two worlds have just collided. He just hopes he can let her go once the danger is over…
