An inconvenient wife / by Olson, Karen E.,author.;
"Kate Parker knows what she's getting into when she marries billionaire businessman Hank Tudor-she's his sixth wife, after all, and was by his side (as his assistant) when his fifth marriage to actress Caitlyn Howard fell apart. But honeymoon plans go awry when a headless body is discovered near Hank's summer home, forcing Kate to contend with two more of his exes: Catherine Alvarez-the first-who lives as a shut-in with her computers, carefully following Tudor Enterprises; and Anna Klein-the fourth-who runs a bed-and-breakfast where she and her wife keep a steady eye on things-particularly Hank's children, Lizzie and Teddy. In this clever and suspenseful reimagining of Tudor era betrayals, these three women become entwined in a deadly game of cat and mouse-with each other, Hank, and Hank's brilliant fixer, Tom Cromwell-as Kate seeks to solve the puzzle of who the murdered woman is, who killed her, and whether her death has any connection to the other headless body from eight years ago"--

Yours, mine, ours / by Moriarty, Sinéad,author.;
Things are finally looking up for Anna. Seventeen miserable years of marriage to man-child Connor have left her drained and ready for a new start. So when they separate, she couldn't be more thrilled to move in with James, a handsome lecturer who is everything her ex-husband is not: kind, thoughtful, and above all, reliable. But Anna and James's kids hate living with the loved-up couple and the new set-up. Their teenage daughters--one a studious high achiever and the other a cool rich girl unbothered by grades or exams--have nothing in common. And Anna's wild football-mad nine-year-old son declares war on bookish James. Nobody said step-parenting was easy; Anna and James are about to find out exactly how complicated it can be. With exes, new partners-of-exes and money all in the mix, home life is fast becoming a minefield and their new-found happiness hangs in the balance. Do they have what it takes to make their blended family work?

What should have been a fun-filled, carefree day takes a tragic turn for the worse for one mother when her best friend's child goes missing in this suspenseful, compulsively readable, and darkly twisted psychological thriller.

But when her three kids are all safe and sound at the school fair, and Alice, her best friend Harriet's daughter, is nowhere to be found, Charlotte panics. Frantically searching everywhere, Charlotte knows she must find the courage to tell Harriet that her beloved only child is missing. And admit that she has only herself to blame. Harriet, devastated by this unthinkable, unbearable loss, can no longer bring herself to speak to Charlotte again, much less trust her. Now more isolated than ever and struggling to keep her marriage afloat, Harriet believes nothing and no one. But as the police bear down on both women trying to piece together the puzzle of what happened to this little girl, dark secrets begin to surface-and Harriet discovers that confiding in Charlotte again may be the only thing that will reunite her with her daughter.

The hundred loves of Juliet / by Skye, Evelyn,author.;
"A woman fresh out of a failed marriage has seemingly written her soulmate into existence--only to discover that great love begets greater tragedy--in this fantastical reimagination of Romeo and Juliet. Helene Janssen has been dreaming of Romeo since she was cast as Juliet in her school play in eighth grade. With her father dying from an incurable brain tumor and the boy cast opposite her a jerk, Helene invented her own Romeo--an imaginary friend who grew up alongside her and who starred, albeit under a different name each time, in the many historical, romantic vignettes she delighted in writing. It was all supposed to be a figment of her fertile imagination, until--fleeing from an emotionally abusive marriage and a dead-end job--Helene arrives in Alaska one snowy January and meets fisherman Sebastien Montague, who is her dream man made flesh--down to the tiniest, most idiosyncratic details. How is a man she invented suddenly alive, in the real world? Helene is determined to unravel the mystery--while Sebastien is equally determined to keep her from the truth. For he is a man scarred by serial tragedy, who is hiding a secret that transcends both mortality and time. And if Helene uncovers his secret, it's not her own happier ever after that could be at stake"--
