Two Gray Titles, One Sexy Mix-Up

by Ruta Sepetys

What happens when two books with similar names are out at the same time? Well, when one is historical fiction set in Lithuania and the other an S&M novel that's ripping up the best-sellers list, some interesting teachable moments.

Historical fiction fits in a bustier.
