What this book is about
Annie Hewitt is a puppeteer who inherits a crumbling cottage on a remote Maine island. The island's largest estate belongs to Theo Harp — a famous thriller writer she knew years ago, in the worst possible circumstances. It's winter. They're essentially alone. Heroes Are My Weakness is Susan Elizabeth Phillips's gothic romance — darker and more psychologically complex than her Wynette novels.
