Join V.L. Bovalino in celebrating The Thief and the Traitor Bride at Lovestruck Books & Cafe with an author conversation followed by a meet and greet and book signing.
Step into a sweeping fantasy where secrets are currency, trust is the greatest risk, and an estranged husband and wife must pretend to be happily married while chasing a powerful relic through enemy territory. Packed with espionage, impossible choices, simmering romantic tension, and second chance sparks, this story asks whether love can survive betrayal when every disguise hides another lie.
Hear V.L. Bovalino discuss the inspiration behind this irresistible fantasy romance adventure, then meet the author and have your copy signed. The author will sign The Thief and the Traitor Bride as well as up to two backlist titles brought from home. The author will provide two personalizations.
