- Maid for each other / by Painter, Lynn,author.;
"A millionaire and a housecleaner are a match maid in heaven in this dazzling new romantic comedy by Lynn Painter, New York Times bestselling author of Happily Never After. As a professional cleaner, Abi Mariano never thought her apartment would have any sort of infestation, but because of a floor-wide outbreak (thanks, Apartment 2B), she now needs somewhere to stay for a week. As a part-time student with two jobs, she doesn't have many options. Then the solution presents itself: the owner of the penthouse she cleans is out of town for the week. She normally wouldn't consider it, but he's literally never around (she's never even met him). It goes great ... until she comes out of the bedroom one morning to find two strangers in the kitchen. They're the parents of the penthouse owner and they seem to think they've heard all about Abi-not as their son's maid, but as his girlfriend. Declan Powell has always put his career first, working his way up to executive vice president at Hathaway Holdings, but he still has his eyes set on the next level. When his parents mention they met his girlfriend Abi, he all but chokes on his escargot. As great as it sounds that she was just darling, he doesn't actually have a girlfriend-he made her up to get everyone off his back. When Dex finds out who Abi really is, he makes her a proposition: pretend to date him, and he'll provide everything she needs during their little arrangement. What harm would it do? It's purely business, no pleasure ... right?"--- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Humorous fiction.; Novels.; Cleaning personnel; Deception; Man-woman relationships; Millionaires; Women cleaning personnel;

- The puzzle master : a novel / by Trussoni, Danielle,author.;
"All the world is a puzzle, and Mike Brink-a celebrated and ingenious puzzle constructor-understands its patterns like no one else. Once a promising Midwestern football star, Brink was transformed by a traumatic brain injury that caused a rare medical condition: Acquired Savant Syndrome. The injury left him with a mental superpower-he can solve puzzles, calculate equations, and see patterns in ways ordinary people can't. But his condition has also left him deeply isolated, unable to fully connect with other people. All of this changes when Brink meets Jess Price, a woman serving thirty years in prison for murder. Traumatized by the crime, Price has not spoken a word since her arrest five years before. And when she draws a perplexing puzzle, her psychiatrist believes it will explain the crime she committed, and calls Brink to solve it. What begins as a desire to crack a strange and alluring cipher quickly morphs into an obsession with the woman who drew the puzzle. When Price reveals that there is something more urgent, and more dangerous, behind her silence, Brink is thrust into a hunt for the truth. The quest takes Brink through a series of interlocking enigmas, but the heart of the mystery is The God Puzzle, an enigmatic prayer circle created by the thirteenth-century Jewish mystic Abraham Abulafia, one of the most controversial men in the history of Kabbalah. As Brink navigates a maze of clues, and his emotional entanglement with Price becomes more intense, he realizes that he is in danger. Because the shocking revelation of the puzzle's true meaning will redefine the nature of life, death, and human identity"--- Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Novels.; Mysticism; Conspiracies; Man-woman relationships; Prisoners; Puzzles; Women prisoners;
