Book Description
Sam knew she was a model wife, a prize wife, the kind of wife men secretly wished they had. But now Jeff wanted to leave her for someone else. When she was a little girl, all Samantha Driscoll ever wanted was to be somebody's wife. She would marry a man called Tod or Brad and she would have two blond children, one boy, one girl. But instead she married a Jeff, had three children, and he's just confessed to having an affair. Sam's life purpose crumbles before her eyes. How could this have happened to her? Spurred on by an eclectic bunch of girlfriends and her nutty sister Max, she finds the job she was born for: Wife for Hire. Sam handles the domestic affairs, and acts as personal shopper and social coordinator, for many satisfied customers. However when Hal Buchanan is added to her client list, but claims not to need her, Sam realises that while she can organise many things in life, she is not so businesslike when her emotions are involved.

Book Description
He needed a wife! Sebastian Hughes stared at the lovely Deni Stenson. “Marry me. Help me save my daughter and I’ll pay off your father’s debts!” Deni stared up at the coldest, most intimidating man she’d ever met…and agreed to marry him. But on her terms! Although, after moving into the zombie-like monstrosity of a house, Deni realized that the cold, angry man truly loved his daughter and…well, he wasn’t as horrible as she’d thought. In fact, he was…well, pretty amazing. Sebastian didn’t want to want Deni. But watching her lively features and seeing her with his daughter…Sebastian couldn’t help but notice other things about the woman he’d married. Like the fact that she was a breath of fresh air. Or the way she smiled at…everything. She was the complete opposite of him and…Sebastian was no fool. Very quickly, he came to realize that marrying Deni had been the best decision of his life!

The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment.

Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options.

Book Description
THE USA TODAY BESTSELLER! THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER! She built the Brooklyn Bridge, so why don't you know her name? Emily Roebling built a monument for all time. Then she was lost in its shadow. Discover the fascinating woman who helped design and construct the Brooklyn Bridge. Perfect for book clubs and fans of Marie Benedict. Emily refuses to live conventionally—she knows who she is and what she wants, and she's determined to make change. But then her husband asks the unthinkable: give up her dreams to make his possible. Emily's fight for women's suffrage is put on hold, and her life transformed when her husband Washington Roebling, the Chief Engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, is injured on the job. Untrained for the task, but under his guidance, she assumes his role, despite stern resistance and overwhelming obstacles. But as the project takes shape under Emily's direction, she wonders whose legacy she is building—hers, or her husband's. As the monument rises, Emily's marriage, principles, and identity threaten to collapse. When the bridge finally stands finished, will she recognize the woman who built it? Based on the true story of an American icon, The Engineer's Wife delivers an emotional portrait of a woman transformed by a project of unfathomable scale, which takes her into the bowels of the East River, suffragette riots, the halls of Manhattan's elite, and the heady, freewheeling temptations of P.T. Barnum. The biography of a husband and wife determined to build something that lasts—even at the risk of losing each other.
