  He Saw Me First

  Across an empty laneway in Paris, through my hotel window, 
   
   
   
  He saw me first. 
   
   
   
  I stopped undressing . . . but only for a moment. The next night, he was waiting for me. He sat there in his expensive suit and watched. No participation. My only acknowledgement was the look of lust in his eyes. 
   
   
   
  It continued until the night before I left, when I found a card under my door. No words. Just a number. So, I texted him. I'd never done anything like it before. It felt so dirty and wrong, but at the same time, I felt alive. 
   
   
   
  He was much older than me, so intimidating and sexy. He made me feel things no man ever has. I was under his spell. 
   
   
   
  The last thing I expected was to ever see him again.

  "I have never been more myself than when I was someone else."
  
  In The Confessions of Arsène Lupin, the "Gentleman Burglar" becomes his own biographer. This collection of nine thrilling stories takes readers behind the scenes of Lupin's most celebrated ruses. From the mysterious "Sign of the Shadow" to the high-stakes drama of "The Invisible Prisoner," Lupin recounts his adventures with a mixture of wit, arrogance, and surprising sentimentality. We see him not just as a criminal mastermind, but as a man who values honor, rescues the innocent, and treats every heist as a work of fine art.
  
  A Deeper Look at the Legend: These stories provide a rare look into Lupin's moral code and his past. Whether he is returning a stolen heirloom to a family in need or outmaneuvering his lifelong rival, Inspector Ganimard, Lupin reveals the motivations that drive his life of crime. It is in these "confidences" that we learn what truly makes a gentleman thief tick.
  
  Masterful Short-Form Mystery: Leblanc is at the height of his powers here, crafting tight, fast-paced narratives filled with secret codes, hidden trapdoors, and brilliant deductive reasoning. Each story is a self-contained puzzle that invites the reader to try and outguess the master before the final reveal.
  
  Why It Is a Must-Read: For fans of the Netflix series or classic mystery enthusiasts, this book is essential. It serves as the perfect entry point for newcomers and a deep dive for longtime fans into the psychology of a character who remains as charming and mysterious today as he was over a century ago.

  Failing out of college wasn't on my dream board. Neither was getting knocked up. Just the same, here I am, ready to start another year at Rake Forge University, pregnant and currently homeless. 
   
   
   
  And it looks like I'm not the only one who's returned. Juan Hernandez, my sister's best friend, saunters through campus with that granite jaw and those raven strands of hair kissing his brow, his whiskey eyes searing everyone to ash. I've avoided him for months, but the second he sees me, the jig is up. 
   
   
   
  The first thing he does is steal my lips in a ravishing kiss. A punishment. 
   
   
   
  The second thing he does is rescue me from sleeping in my car. A lesson. 
   
   
   
  Living with him will never work, not with how brash his words are, how hot his constant stare, or how he touches me. His fingers brand my skin as if he owns me, and on some level, I know he wants to. 
   
   
   
  What he doesn't know is that I belong to another man . . . and come my twenty-first birthday, I'll return to him whether I want to or not. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
