In this fairy tale Regency romance by USA Today bestselling and HOLT Medallion winning author BREE WOLF, a mousy wallflower with a secret and a dark lord with one of his own come to see that the fun begins when the masks come off. An unusual wallflower. A knight of the road. And a moment that changed all they thought they knew. MISS CAROLINE HAWKINS never gets looked at twice. She is never asked to dance or called on by a gentleman. In fact, gentlemen hardly notice she is even there, easily looking past her at the more alluring ladies of English society… …which is precisely how Caroline wants it. After all, she puts a lot of work into her appearance, powdering her hair to ensure it loses its shine and looks dull and unassuming. Thick spectacles hide her bright and watchful eyes, and wide, gray gowns buttoned to her chin conceal any female curves that might draw unwanted attention. In short: Caroline’s disguise is perfect… …or almost perfect because, to Caroline’s dismay, one particular gentleman will not be swayed. People call him THE BLACK BARON. The moment PIERCE BYRNE, BARON MARKHAM, glimpses this little gray mouse of a woman he knows something about her is…odd. Intriguingly odd. Fascinatingly odd. Odd in a way that makes him want to know more about her. By sheer happenstance, Pierce stumbles upon her one night and realizes how very right he has been. Caroline Hawkins is indeed odd, for she has been hiding a secret from all of London society that makes her perfect for him. After all, he, too, hides a secret…one Caroline swears to discover as the two of them go head to head. When the dust settles, will they still be strangers?

The first book to put the sacred and sensuous bronze statues from India’s Chola dynasty in social context From the ninth through the thirteenth century, the Chola dynasty of southern India produced thousands of statues of Hindu deities, whose physical perfection was meant to reflect spiritual beauty and divine transcendence. During festivals, these bronze sculptures—including Shiva, referred to in a saintly vision as “the thief who stole my heart”—were adorned with jewels and flowers and paraded through towns as active participants in Chola worship. In this richly illustrated book, leading art historian Vidya Dehejia introduces the bronzes within the full context of Chola history, culture, and religion. In doing so, she brings the bronzes and Chola society to life before our very eyes. Dehejia presents the bronzes as material objects that interacted in meaningful ways with the people and practices of their era. Describing the role of the statues in everyday activities, she reveals not only the importance of the bronzes for the empire, but also little-known facets of Chola life. She considers the source of the copper and jewels used for the deities, proposing that the need for such resources may have influenced the Chola empire’s political engagement with Sri Lanka. She also investigates the role of women patrons in bronze commissions and discusses the vast public records, many appearing here in translation for the first time, inscribed on temple walls. From the Cholas’ religious customs to their agriculture, politics, and even food, The Thief Who Stole My Heart offers an expansive and complete immersion in a community still accessible to us through its exquisite sacred art.
