Charlotte Cooper, a thirty-year-old New York journalist, is assigned to London—a place steeped in memories she'd rather forget. A second chance at professional fulfillment and personal healing seems within reach, especially when she reconnects with Rafe, the artist she once loved. But just as her life begins to stabilize, Charlotte receives an anonymous envelope containing explicit photos of herself from years past. The message is clear: abandon her career, home, and lover—or face public humiliation. With two weeks to uncover the source, Charlotte must navigate buried secrets, the powerful men who seek to control her, and the difficult truths that could cost her everything.
EARLY PRAISE FOR STRANGE SHAPE OF LOVE
Herta Feely’s Strange Shape of Love is a gripping, twisted mystery, a second-chance romance, and a provocative, adrenaline-filled thriller for fans of Gone Girl and Winnie M Li’s Complicit. Through the lens of a pulse-pounding adventure, Feely confronts some of today’s most urgent societal, cultural, and personal issues: gendered power dynamics, sex trafficking, race, class, and what it means to love and forgive despite the scars of the past. I tore through this book in two days and was amazed, both at the scope of the story and the courage and passion of its author.
—Rebecca Anne Nguyen, author, The 23rd Hero
Propulsive, escalating, and ultimately explosive, Strange Shape of Love delivers on all it promises: romance, intrigue, revelation, retribution and, ultimately, full satisfaction.
—Wayne Johnson, author, The Red Canoe
A rollicking tale that soars past the tabloid headlines to offer us a classic showdown between innocence and evil.
—Tim Wendel, author, Rebel Falls
