My family was everything to me. Which is why I didn't hesitate. I dropped it all-my life, my career, my home-and left New York, with my sisters, to come back and run my mom's business when she got sick. Cleaning wasn't my thing, but my mom was damn good at it. So much so that her maid service was doing well with some pretty rich clientele. Zane Richards. He'd been one of them. I'd pictured a stuffy old man with a trophy wife, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Young. Hot. Rich. Charming. Sinful. Though I hated him on sight, that didn't stop me from wanting him. So, I took him...and that should have been all. Just sex, no strings. And I'd return to my life in New York when my mom was better. But that damn thin line...always getting in the way... Maid to Hate...or Maid to Love?

From bestselling author Kandi Steiner comes a gripping emotional best friend's brother romance that will have you on the edge of your seat from the first sentence until the very last. If he kisses me right now I'll drown. Every sip of air is shallow and burning because in the arms of my best friend's brother I'm the closest I've ever been to sin. His eyes flick to my lips and I remember the first time I tasted him seven years ago before I left this town and vowed never to return. His hands grip my waist and I remember the pain when he rejected me when my entire world crashed down at his command. His jaw clenches and my senses come alive with one stinging reminder. I'm not his to kiss and he's not mine. I tried to stay away from Tyler Wagner putting an entire country between us. But when his sister's wedding brings us back to the same town to the same house I can't avoid him no matter how hard I try. He's always there his dark eyes bewitching luring me into their depths. The memory of us pulls me under like a rip current and when he flashes that smile I lose my breath along with my will unable to escape his grip and find the surface. Now hours before our plus ones arrive for the wedding I'm in his arms begging him to make me hate him knowing he never could. If he kisses me right now I'll drown. And I'll take him down with me.

"A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide (Barack Obama)," this New York Times bestselling memoir is the inspiration for the Netflix limited series, hailed by Rolling Stone as "a great one." At 28, Stephanie Land's dreams of attending a university and becoming a writer quickly dissolved when a summer fling turned into an unplanned pregnancy. Before long, she found herself a single mother, scraping by as a housekeeper to make ends meet. Maid is an emotionally raw, masterful account of Stephanie's years spent in service to upper middle class America as a "nameless ghost" who quietly shared in her clients' triumphs, tragedies, and deepest secrets. Driven to carve out a better life for her family, she cleaned by day and took online classes by night, writing relentlessly as she worked toward earning a college degree. She wrote of the true stories that weren't being told: of living on food stamps and WIC coupons, of government programs that barely provided housing, of aloof government employees who shamed her for receiving what little assistance she did. Above all else, she wrote about pursuing the myth of the American Dream from the poverty line, all the while slashing through deep-rooted stigmas of the working poor. Maid is Stephanie's story, but it's not hers alone. It is an inspiring testament to the courage, determination, and ultimate strength of the human spirit. "A single mother's personal, unflinching look at America's class divide, a description of the tightrope many families walk just to get by, and a reminder of the dignity of all work." -PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, Obama's Summer Reading List

Think Clue. Think page-turner.”—Glamour A dead body is one mess she can’t clean up on her own. Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misreads the intentions of others. Her Gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by, but since Gran died a few months ago, Molly has been navigating life's complexities by herself. With gusto, she throws herself into work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. She delights in donning her crisp uniform each morning, stocking her cart with miniature soaps and bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection. But Molly’s orderly life is upended the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself dead in his bed. Before she knows what’s happening, Molly’s unusual demeanour has the police targeting her as their lead suspect. She quickly finds herself caught in a web of deception, one she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, friends she never knew she had unite with her in a search for clues to what really happened to Mr. Black. But will they be able to find the real killer before it’s too late? Both a Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different—and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart.

Being America's favorite heiress is a dirty job...but someone's gotta do it. Lexington Larrabee has never had to work a day in her life. After all, she's the heiress to the multi-billion-dollar Larrabee Media empire. And heiresses are not supposed to work. But then again, they're not supposed to crash brand-new Mercedes convertibles into convenience stores on Sunset Boulevard either. Which is why, on Lexi's eighteenth birthday, her ever-absent, tycoon father decides to take a more proactive approach to her wayward life. Every week for the next year, she will have to take on a different low-wage job if she ever wants to receive her beloved trust fund. But if there's anything worse than working as a maid, a dishwasher, and a fast-food restaurant employee, it's dealing with Luke, the arrogant, albeit moderately attractive, college intern her father has assigned to keep tabs on her. In Jessica Brody's hilarious "comedy of heiress" about family, forgiveness, good intentions, and best of all, second chances, Lexi learns that love can be unconditional, money can be immaterial, and regardless of age, everyone needs a little saving. And although she might have fifty-two reasons to hate her father, she only needs one reason to love him.
