I am wild. I am free. And I will not be tamed.I don't do relationships. I stick around long enough to have a little fun, and then leave before I can be left.It's not like anyone has ever held my interest very long anyway.Not until three delectable, mysterious, and frustratingly persistent men show up in my life and completely throw it off course.It was only supposed to be a one-time thing with each of them, but no matter how hard I try to stay away, we keep getting thrown together.Before them, everything was mundane. The typical college, work, party, occasional random hookup experience-rinse, repeat. But now, I'm unwillingly thrown into a world of chaos and danger. And if I'm being honest, I love the thrill of it.The second their rivals catch wind of me, I become a pawn in the twisted war they're in and if I'm not careful, I will end up being just another of the many casualties in this battle of claiming the throne.Author note: Previously published by Tessa James.

"The translator Anthony Kerrigan has compared the work of Camilo Josâe Cela, the 1989 winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, to that of Louis-Ferdinand Câeline and Curzio Malaparte. These are, Kerrigan writes, "ferocious writers, truculent, badly spoken, foul mouthed." However provocative and disturbing, they are also flat-out dazzling as writers, whose sentences, as rigorous as riotous, lodge like knives in the reader's mind. Cela called himself a proponent of "uglyism," of "nothingism." But he has the knack, the critic Amâerico Castro reminds us, of deploying those "nothings and lacks" to construct beauty. The Hive is set over the course of a few days in the Madrid of 1943, not long after the end of the Spanish Civil War and when the regime of General Francisco Franco was at its most oppressive. The book includes more than three hundred characters whose comings and goings it tracks to hypnotic effect. Scabrous, scandalous, and profane, this virtuosic group portrait of a wounded and sick society was first published in Buenos Aires in 1950 because in Spain it could not be published at all. This new translation by James Womack is the first in English to present Cela's masterpiece in uncensored form"--
