Crackling with tension and slow-burn suspense, The Hunter explores what we’ll do for our loved ones, what we’ll do for revenge, and what we sacrifice when the two collide, from the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Tana French. --- Nobody writes tension like Tana French: 'Terrific - terrifying, amazing' STEPHEN KING 'One of the greats of contemporary crime fiction' IAN RANKIN ‘A truly great writer’ GILLIAN FLYNN 'Crime fiction's biggest contemporary star' GUARDIAN ‘If you haven’t read Tana French yet, I really highly recommend that you do’ HARLAN COBEN Irish Times bestseller, March 2024

From New York Times Bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a new, fun, steamy standalone about a notorious playboy and the nerdy girl who brings him to his knees. Boston's debauched elite is going up in flames, and it's the Fitzpatrick family that set it on fire. ¿¿¿¿¿¿ I didn't mean to star in a sex tape, okay? It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds. It just happened. Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying... Sailor I didn't want this gig, okay? But the deal was too sweet to walk away from. I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny. Besides, what's six months in the grand scheme of things? It's not like I'm in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic gazillionaire who happens to be one of Boston's most eligible bachelors. No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrick's charm. Even at the cost of losing everything I have. Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom.
