Meet author Rebecca Gould Baeurle, author of Six Weeks of Love and Larceny, at Bethany Beach Books on Thursday, August 20th at 6:30pm!
Rebecca Gould Baeurle has spent a lifetime helping others chase their missions—now she’s chasing one of her own. After a successful career in the nonprofit world spanning education, healthcare, disability inclusion, and community building, she’s traded grant proposals for plot twists.
Originally from a small town in North Jersey, Rebecca earned her degree in Communications and English from the University of Delaware and never stopped writing. Her voice was forged out of necessity to survive in a family of ferocious talkers, and her storytelling chops were honed over decades of hilarious banter.
Six Weeks of Love and Larceny is her debut novel – the first in the (series name). Rebecca lives just outside Philadelphia—close enough to cheer loudly for the Eagles—and is known to disappear to the Delaware beaches with a good book and an even better cocktail. She’s been married to her college sweetheart, Mike, for 36 years, has two grown children who still keep her on her toes, and yes—she really does have a sister she adores.
Six Weeks of Love and Larceny
Six weeks. Two sisters. One very bad idea.
Nikki Taylor’s college life in Philly is already a high-stakes balancing act—juggling classes, two jobs, and an empty bank account. She doesn’t have time for games. But when a cocky, dark-eyed customer leaves his phone number instead of a tip, she answers the challenge—and steps straight into the arms of Chris Sheppard, a charming Temple student with secrets of his own.
Meanwhile, her older sister Lauren is holding it all together. Barely. A lifestyle columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer, Lauren prefers to keep things professional, predictable, and strictly in control. That is, until her new intern uncovers a potential scandal: date rape drugs and a citywide drug ring creeping onto college campuses.
As Nikki’s romance intensifies and Lauren’s investigation deepens, the sisters’ stories converge in unexpected—and dangerous—ways. Because love might be blind, but someone is watching. And what began as flirtation and first dates is spiraling into something much different.
Witty, romantic, and charged with tension, Six Weeks of Love and Larceny is a modern-day love story with a criminal twist—where sisterhood is everything, and trust can be a deadly gamble.
