Just playing house / by Heron, Farah,author.;

"A rising movie star reunites with his high school prom date, now a personal stylist, in this delightful rom-com for fans of forced proximity, second chances, and celebrity romance. As a luxury fashion sales associate, Marley Kamal's livelihood depends on being cool, aspirational, and just the right amount of detached. None of her coworkers need to know she's been waiting years for a surgery date because she carries a BRCA genetic mutation. But only weeks before her surgery, the professional opportunity of a lifetime comes to her -- a major studio wants Marley to style an up-and-coming Hollywood superstar, who also just happens to be an old friend. Nikhil Shamdasani is either on the brink of superstardom or a complete breakdown. Going from a nobody actor with multiple side hustles to a superhero in a major Hollywood action film hasn't been smooth a transition. Now comic nerds think he's a diversity hire while fans expect him to single-handedly represent the entire Indian community in western media. He doesn't even look like himself anymore -- thanks to the trainers, hairstylists, and even dentists the studio hired. So when Nikhil learns Marley Kamal, his old high school friend and prom date is now a high fashion sales associate, he asks if she can be his stylist, reigniting their friendship ... and maybe becoming something more"--

Tenkill / by Kirk, Shannon,author.;

In TENKILL, Greta Vinet Seville, E-Discovery Counsel and Deputy General Counsel at the international law firm of Coarse & Cotton, finds herself on the run from her own firm. Using a thin argument that she is authorized to investigate suspected corruption and possible high crimes amongst the named partners, Greta absconds with firm data to conduct her investigation-- holing up at a former client's off-the grid farm to figure out her next move-- that is until the firm tracks her down, claiming to have only her safety in mind, forcing her to flee again, this time enlisting a diverse cast of characters to help her comb through the mountains of data she's taken from the firm. This off-the-books, rag-tag legal team includes a genius litigation technology professional, a possibly psychopathic (but effective) summer associate, an AP investigative reporter, a classical painting art restorer, Greta's philosophy professor brother, and Greta's love interest, a compliance attorney at Tenkill. Romance, action, technology law, corruption are all explored, and married with Greta's personal backstory about a renegade, vigilante aunt who's been on the run for decades and fighting her own politically-charged battles. They create a make-shift war room in a historic Salem, Massachusetts home, and their pursuit of more evidence leads them in action-packed chases around Boston ... and a massive hospital--Tenkill-- that is at the center of the corruption. But this investigation is like no other Greta has ever conducted, as people who have millions to lose and careers to ruin have and will kill to keep what she seeks to uncover secret.

What's left of me is yours : a novel / by Scott, Stephanie,1983-author.;

"In Japan, a covert industry has grown up around the "wakaresaseya" (literally "breaker-upper"), a person hired by one spouse to seduce the other in order to gain the advantage in divorce proceedings. When Sato hires Kaitaro, a wakaresaseya agent, to have an affair with his wife, Rina, he assumes it will be an easy case. But Sato has never truly understood Rina or her desires and Kaitaro's job is to do exactly that--until he does it too well. While Rina remains ignorant of the circumstances that brought them together, she and Kaitaro fall in a desperate, singular love, setting in motion a series of violent acts that will forever haunt her daughter's life. Told from alternating points of view and across the breathtaking landscapes of Japan, Stephanie Scott exquisitely renders the affair and its intricate repercussions. As Rina's daughter, Sumiko, fills in the gaps of her mother's story and her own memory, Scott probes the thorny psychological and moral grounds of the actions we take in the name of love, asking where we draw the line between passion and possession"--
