Six Weeks of Love & Larceny by Rebecca Gould Baeurle

Nikki Taylor’s college life in Philly is already a high-stakes balancing act-juggling classes, two jobs, and an empty bank account. She doesn’t have time for games. But when a cocky, dark-eyed customer leaves his phone number instead of a tip, she answers the challenge-and steps straight into the arms of Chris Sheppard, a charming Temple student with secrets of his own.

Meanwhile, her older sister Lauren is holding it all together. Barely. A lifestyle columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer, Lauren prefers to keep things professional, predictable, and strictly in control. That is, until her new intern uncovers a potential scandal: date rape drugs and a citywide drug ring creeping onto college campuses.

As Nikki’s romance intensifies and Lauren’s investigation deepens, the sisters’ stories converge in unexpected-and dangerous-ways. Because love might be blind, but someone is watching. And what began as flirtation and first dates is spiraling into something much different.

Witty, romantic, and charged with tension, Six Weeks of Love and Larceny is a modern-day love story with a criminal twist-where sisterhood is everything, and trust can be a deadly gamble.
