What’s On My Netgalley TBR?

_{Chandler Cohen lies for a living.}

_{When she accepts her next ghostwriting gig penning a memoir for cult actor Finnegan Walsh, it should be a dream job.}

_{However, Chandler knows him best as something else: her worst-ever one-night stand . . .}

_{She’s determined to keep things professional. But when she finally admits to Finn that their night together wasn’t as mind-blowing as he thought, he’s mortified, and determined to make amends.}

_{So, they strike a deal. During the day, they’ll work on the book, and at night, she’ll school him in the art of satisfaction.}

_{As they grow closer, the line between business and pleasure starts to blur.}

_{Can Chandler and Finn have both, or will they have to choose?}

_{Noelle is an efficient and friendly hotel cleaner, a model employee. Or so she’d have you think. The trouble is that she can’t help taking a little ‘souvenir’ as she cleans. Nothing of value, just tokens of happy, normal lives: a lipstick, a hair clip, some tweezers. And by the time the guest has noticed, she’s long gone.}

_{As she starts at her 21st hotel, she’s determined to beat her record of one month in a five star hotel before suspicion falls on her. But when she meets her new colleagues, her plans are complicated. These women aren’t just hands pushing carts down lonely hotel corridors: they are women with lives full of happiness and worry, pain and joy. The kind of lives Noelle has never known how to live. They make her wonder what it might be like to have real friends, people to stick around for…}

_{Will the women at Hotel 21 give her the courage to claim the life she deserves, or will her old habits come back to haunt her?}

_{Turns out that reading nothing but true crime isn’t exactly conducive to modern dating – and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she’s used to suspecting the worst.}

_{PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She’s even analysing the genre in her dissertation – if she can manage to finish writing it. It’s hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn’t had a relationship with for years.}

_{It doesn’t help that she’s low-key convinced that her new neighbour, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he’s clearly up to something). But it’s not long before Phoebe realises that Sam might be something much scarier – a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armour to reach her vulnerable heart.}
