SUMMARY:Book Release Party: Uptown Thief by Aya de Leon
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the breakthrough sexy social justice novel that’s been 8 years in the making! The event will include a reading by Aya de Leon from UPTOWN THIEF\, a performance by Vixen Noir\, and Aya will be interviewed by Carolina De Robertis. Books will be available for sale! UPTOWN THIEF by Aya de Leon releases August 2016! \nAbout the book: \nA FEMALE ROBIN HOOD  WHO ROBS THE RICH AND PROTECTS THE EXPLOITED- UNTIL ONE HEIST TOO MANY PUTS  EVERYTHING AT STAKE \nMarisol Rivera barely survived being abused with nowhere to turn. So there’s nothing she won’t do to keep her Lower East Side women’s health clinic open and give disadvantaged women new lives. Running an exclusive escort service for New York City’s rich and powerful 1% is the perfect way to bankroll her business—not to mention the perfect cover for robbing corrupt CEOs. And when times get even tougher\, pulling a heist on a mega-billionaire will secure the clinic’s future—and her gorgeous crew’s—for good… \nThere’s just one problem: Marisol didn’t anticipate bad news even more dangerous than her curves. A sexy ex-cop who’s too close for comfort\, and a powerful thug with a score to settle\, are turning Marisol’s precise planning and seductive fail-safes into insidious traps. Now this beautiful modern-day Robin Hood will have to play some lethal wild cards without rules or limits to save those she loves—and live to steal another day… \n“Uptown Thief is a smart\, sexy\, sizzling good time of a novel–a daring and irresistible blend of high-voltage action and deeply human storytelling. The women in this book blaze so brightly\, you could almost burn your fingers on the pages.” – Carolina De Robertis\, author of The Gods of Tango \n“Staking out space for women of color in the heist-fiction genre\, Aya de Leon’s smart\, sly writing is a knockout.” – Andi Zeisler\, Bitch Magazine \nAbout the Author: \nAYA DE LEON  Writer.
