Seduction Theory by Emily Adrian

Just in time for the stickiest days of summer, Seduction Theory comes out on August 12. The novel boasts a tantalizing premise: A creative writing graduate student’s thesis project “fictionally” outs the web of infidelity in the department. Smart and steamy, this one will keep you delightfully hot and bothered into the back-to-school season.
