Everyone who really knows Brooklyn knows Devonairre Street girls are different. They're the ones you shouldn't fall in love with. The ones with the curse. The ones who can get you killed. Lorna Ryder is a Devonairre Street girl, and for years, paying lip service to the curse has been the small price of living in a neighborhood full of memories of her father, one of the thousands killed five years earlier in the 2001 Times Square Bombing. Then her best friend's boyfriend is killed, and suddenly a city paralysed by dread of another terrorist attack is obsessed with Devonairre Street and the price of falling in love. Set in an America where recent history has followed a different path, The Careful Undressing of Love is a love story that will leave readers breathless and unsettled.
