Bossed
by Sloane HowellHe’s the boss. But she’s ready to take charge.“Wonderfully witty and fresh, Bossed is a must-read for anyone who loves a sassy, modern heroine and an in-charge alpha hero.”—New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne Jenny: Job interviews are a bitch under the best of circumstances, but when your potential boss is the world’s biggest prick, that’s when you should simply walk away. It’s just that I need this job so badly—and I’m mesmerized by Ethan Mason’s piercing gaze. Men like him aren’t supposed to exist in real life. But under the tailored suits and GQ looks, Ethan simmers with barely restrained ambition. And no matter how hard I work to fight the attraction, I’m going to get burned. Ethan: You don’t become a top agent without learning how to close a deal. I always get what—or who—I want, by staying cool and in command. Then Jenny Jackson walks into my office with her lush curves and “screw you” attitude and blows away my intentions of keeping things professional. All I can think about is exploring the perfect body hidden beneath those conservative clothes or shutting her saucy mouth with one hot kiss.

by Hannah Howe“Morgan Brooks es un buen hombre”, dijo Alan, “un gran psicólogo y mi mentor. Nos ha invitado a pasar Navidad con él y su familia. ¿Aceptamos?” “Por supuesto”. Dije. “Sí”.

Además, conocí a Dexter Trask, un hombre de negocios, un megalómano y supuesto ‘Rey de Boston’. Las vacaciones comenzaron bien. Luego apareció el primer cuerpo, un joven asesinado en el bosque.

Boston Adventure
by Jean StaffordA provocative story of class struggle, privilege, and poverty that put American author Jean Stafford on the map.Growing up in a fishing village north of Boston between the wars, Sonie, the child of immigrants, is so poor that she must &“sleep on a pallet made of old coats and comforters.&” She can only dream of the feather beds and perfumed soap to be found in the great city across the bay. In the summers, while helping her mother clean rooms in a shoreside hotel, she keeps company with the austere and fascinating Miss Pride. Years pass, and Sonie—now the caretaker of her fragile mother—receives an invitation from Miss Pride to move to Beacon Hill and be her personal secretary. Salvation, she thinks, is at hand. In Boston, Sonie does come to know a new and broader world, one in which she mingles with both blue bloods and louche European refugees, and yet her troubles, she discovers, are hardly over.Boston Adventure was published when Jean Stafford was twenty-nine, and it was an immediate best seller. Combining Dickensian color and Proustian insight in its depiction of an isolated but determined young woman, it looks forward to Stafford&’s celebrated novel The Mountain Lion as well as to the short stories for which she would be awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1970.
