The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
Millie is desperate to get a decent job, and fast. When she gets an offer from Nina Winchester to be a housemaid in her beautiful home, she is more than happy to overlook all the small issues that come with the position. But once settled in, the piling mess of all the things that don’t add up gets harder and harder to ignore: the fact that the door to her room only locks on the outside, Nina’s unreasonable demands. But Millie isn’t exactly in a position to quit. And with her growing attraction to Nina’s handsome husband Andrew, she’s not even sure she’d want to. For fans of Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn. If you enjoy this title, be sure to check out The Housemaid’s Secret.
Hello Beautiful: A Novel by Ann Napolitano
William Waters grew up in a house silenced by tragedy, where his parents could hardly bear to look at him, much less love him. So it’s a relief when his skill on the basketball court earns him a college scholarship, far away from his childhood home. He soon meets Julia Padavano, a spirited and ambitious young woman who surprises William with her appreciation of his quiet steadiness. With Julia comes her family; she is inseparable from her three younger sisters. But then darkness from William’s past surfaces, jeopardizing not only Julia’s carefully orchestrated plans for their future, but the sisters’ unshakeable loyalty to one another. The result is a catastrophic family rift that changes their lives for generations. Will the loyalty that once rooted them be strong enough to draw them back together when it matters most? For fans of Ann Patchett and Barbara Kingsolver.
