Arm Candy
by Jill Kargman"Queen of the beach read" (Washington Post Express) Jill Kargman, returns with an uproarious tale about searching for love and starts anew on the cusp of forty. For two decades, thirty-nine-year-old Eden Clyde has been enjoying wealth and glamour as the muse and lover of Otto Clyde, the ultrafamous and much older king of the art world. Genetically, she hit the lottery, but Eden is unlucky in love: eighteen years ago she put aside her dream of true love and marriage and turned a blind eye to Otto's philandering in exchange for a life without want. In her younger days this seemed like a fair bargain, but as forty looms overhead-and as the beauty for which she's known begins to fade-she feels the cost of the arrangement finally taking its toll on her happiness. Eden leaves their cozy downtown loft for New York's frostier upper east Side, where she begins to search for the girl and the life she left so many years ago. With the encouragement of a raucous but lovable group of girlfriends, Eden soon finds herself embroiled in a heated love affair with Gotham's most eligible bachelor: the much younger Chase Lydon. But just as their relationship is getting serious, an old flame resurfaces. Does Eden want the life she's living-and loving-right now, or the love she left behind? On the brink of her fortieth birthday, it's time for Eden to follow her heart, but this time not even Eden is sure where that will lead. Poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, and written with heart and humor, Arm Candyshows that although forty may sometimes feel like the ultimate F word, its never too late to find true love.
Arm Candy (Real Love #2)
by Jessica LemmonLast call! At the end of the night, a clean-cut hunk and a rebellious bartender act on their unlikely chemistry in this frisky standalone novel from the author of Eye Candy. Davis: I’ve had my eye on Grace Buchanan for a while now. Unlike the bubbly blondes I usually date, the feisty, flame-haired bartender both intrigues and bewilders me. Something about Grace—the tattoos? the nose ring?—makes every part of me sit up and beg. There’s only one problem: She hates me. Trading insults and one-liners has become our M.O. But when Grace bets me that I can’t get a date with a non-blonde if my life depends on it, I’m determined to prove her wrong by landing the ultimate non-blonde: her. Grace: I’m used to regulars hitting on me, and I’ve turned them all down, except for one: Davis Price. I like giving him a hard time, and he’s kind of cute in his suit and tie—if you’re into that kind of thing. Anyway, I don’t care how many blondes he takes home . . . until one of them sidles up to him in my bar. Nuh-uh. But after my little bet with Davis backfires, our first date lands us in the sack. So does the second. And the third. Neither of us wants more than the best sex of our lives. The trouble is, it’s not a question of what I want. It’s what I need. And what I need is Davis.

Armi & bagagli (serie Armi & bagagli #1)
by Madeleine Urban Abigail Roux Cornelia GreySerie Armi & bagagli, Libro 1Una serie di omicidi affligge la città di New York. L'FBI e la polizia brancolano nel buio: si sospetta che il killer sia uno solo, ma gli indizi sono talmente scarsi e indecifrabili da non fornire alcuna pista. Quando a rimetterci le penne sono due agenti del Bureau, però, il caso diventa di importanza vitale per l'FBI. L'agente speciale Ty Grady è reduce da un incarico sotto copertura finito molto male. È arrogante e litigioso, ma è anche il migliore in quello che fa. Quando però lo mettono in coppia con l'agente speciale Zane Garrett, è odio a prima vista. Garrett è l'agente modello: serio, sobrio e devoto -- il che rende la loro collaborazione la classica accoppiata 'sbirro buono-sbirro cattivo', gli opposti complementari. Entrambi gli agenti capiscono, da subito, che la vera difficoltà del caso non sarà l'assenza di indizi, quanto il dover lavorare insieme. Appena arrivati sul posto, però, l'assassino colpisce ancora -- e questa volta il mirino è puntato su di loro. Costretti a fuggire e a nascondersi, e al tempo stesso decisi a scovare l'uomo che li ha presi di mira, Grady e Garrett devono trovare il modo di lavorare insieme -- e alla svelta, se non vogliono diventare altre due tacche sul coltello dell'assassino.
