Under the table : a novel / by Evanovich, Stephanie,author.;
"Suffocating in a dead-end marriage, Midwesterner Zoey Sullivan has fled to New York. In love with the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, Zoey dodges calls from her ex, Derek, and builds a business catering private dinners and parties. Pursuing her passion for cooking was never an option when she was with Derek, and now Zoey relishes her independence. When Zoey meets reclusive millionaire Tristan Malloy, she's blown away by his kitchen--a marble-and-stainless-steel temple worthy of the culinary gods--and charmed by his impeccable gentlemanly manners. But despite his handsome looks and piles of cash, Tristan--a computer programmer--is shy and awkward. Zoey is sure that Tristan has all the right raw ingredients--and she's the right person to spice them up and turn him into a delectable dish. But Zoey's unprepared for just how well her makeover works. Slowly but surely, Zoey realizes she may have found her perfect match--but does Tristan even know how her feelings have changed? And what will happen when Zoey's ex comes to town, looking to win her back?"--Dust jacket flap.

A good marriage : a novel / by McCreight, Kimberly,author.;
"When Amanda, the gorgeous wife of start-up millionaire Zach Grayson, is discovered dead at the bottom of the stairs in her stately Brooklyn brownstone, her husband is immediately fingered as the primary suspect. Zach calls Lizzie, his law school classmate, hoping their shared history will convince her to come to his aid. A former U.S. Attorney with no violent crime experience, Lizzie reluctantly agrees to represent him, though the two haven't seen each other in years. As she works to exonerate Zach, Lizzie is drawn into the privilege, passion, and excess churning beneath Park Slope, Brooklyn's idyllic, virtuous streets. It's a world that's completely foreign to Lizzie, but, if she's honest, also unexpectedly intriguing--particularly in light of the increasingly steep cost of keeping her own troubled marriage afloat. Zach's case proves less clear cut than Lizzie anticipated, though--especially after revelations surface about the racy party he and Amanda attended the night before she died. It's the event of the summer for wealthy Park Slope parents, a chance to blow off some steam while the kids are at camp, and it's all consensual, harmless fun. At least, that's the idea. Untitled McCreight Novel pulses with the energy of a legal thriller and the emotional urgency of page-turning domestic suspense. As Lizzie unwinds the truth about that night, she learns that Amanda was hiding far more than the cold reality of her distant marriage, and that other couples in the neighborhood harbor dark secrets of their own. In the end, Lizzie must confront not only her own marriage, but what it means to have a good marriage in the first place, and the dangerous compromises some couples make--and the secrets they keep--in order to stay together"--

How to be a boss b*tch : stop apologizing for who you are and get the life you want / by Quinn, Christine,author.; Holtzman, Rachel,author.;
"Part manifesto, part tell-all, Christine Quinn's How to Be a Boss Bitch brings readers all the details of her journey from high school dropout and Texas bartender to self-made millionaire, entrepreneur, and reality TV star. Quinn has been called everything from "the most-talked-about woman on TV" to "the villain 2020 needed." When competitive colleagues, ex-boyfriends, or cast mates call her a bitch, she says thank you. She doesn't apologize for any of the qualities that got her the success she has today: tenacity, outspoken confidence, and fearless authenticity, all while dressed in full glam and Balenciaga. When Christine talks about not apologizing she is not proposing that you treat others poorly or dismissively, but rather to stop wasting time feeling bad for youthful mistakes, for ambition, or for demanding that your partner steps up and does their fair share. It is this apologizing, she argues, that holds us back, and once we confront it and learn to acknowledge and then sidestep it, we can truly become the boss bitches that we are meant to be"--
