Book Description
Gigi Levangie Grazer, the New York Times bestselling author of The Starter Wife, returns with a hilarious and spirited tale of love—both lost and found. L.A. is no place for widows. This is what forty-four-year-old Hannah Bernal quickly discovers after the tragic death of her handsome and loving husband, John. Misery and red-rimmed eyes are little tolerated in the land of the beautiful. But life stumbles on: Hannah’s sweet three-year-old daughter, Ellie, needs to be dropped off at her overpriced preschool, while Hannah herself must get back to work in order to pay the bills on “Casa Sugar,” the charming Spanish-styled bungalow they call home. Fortunately, Hannah has her “Grief Team” for emotional support: earth mother and fanatical animal lover Chloe, who finds a potential blog post in every moment; aspiring actress Aimee, who has her cosmetic surgeon on speed dial; and Jay, Hannah’s TV producing partner, who has a penchant for Mr. Wrong. But after a series of mishaps and bizarre occurrences, one of which finds Hannah in a posh Santa Monica jail cell, her friends start to fear for her sanity. To make matters worse, John left their financial affairs in a disastrous state. And when Hannah is dramatically fired from her latest producing gig, she finds herself in danger of losing her house, her daughter, and her mind. One night, standing in her backyard under a majestic avocado tree, in the throes of grief, Hannah breaks down and asks, “Why?” The answer that comes back—Why not?—begins an astounding journey of discovery and transformation that leads Hannah to her own truly extraordinary life after death. Praise for The After Wife “Fans of Lolly Winston, Mary Kay Andrews, and Jennifer Weiner will especially enjoy Grazer’s newest.”—Booklist “Hilariously funny and profoundly wise, The After Wife is for anyone who’s ever been married or widowed, in debt or in love. I could not put it down: a fabulous read!”—Nancy Thayer, author of Island Girls “A charming tale of a grieving forty-ish widow—and the wacky friends who love her.”—Los Angeles Times “A book that is part Jacqueline Susann, part Real Housewives . . . Gigi Levangie Grazer [is a] Jimmy Choo’ed-out satirist.”—National Post “Fans of The Starter Wife will be equally charmed with The After Wife.”—Library Journal “Grazer’s entertaining satire is sure to spice up any occasion.”—Publishers Weekly

Book Description
Divorced. Murdered. Died. Divorced. Departed. Survived. A modern take on the life and marriages of Henry VIII, if he were a 21st century womanizing media mogul rather than the king of England. Master of the universe Harry Rose is head of the Rose Corporation, number eighteen on the Forbes rich list, and recently married to wife number six. But in 2018, his perfect world is about to come crashing to the ground. His business is in the spotlight--and not in a good way--and his love life is under scrutiny. Because behind a glittering curtain of lavish parties, gorgeous homes, and a media empire is a tale worthy of any tabloid. And Harry has a lot to account for.

Book Description
A true, open, and honest version of events in my life after the wife. Its sexy, funny, informative, and emotional. Starting with a few pages of how I got to be who I am, not too in depth but enough to make your imagination work. Followed by how I got into escorting and what I got up to as an escort, moving on to my time on the Internet dating sites, how I got on with some women I met and how with some I didnt. I get on my soapbox every so often talking about benefits, money, and maintenance! I try my best to explain how to make your sex life better without trying to sound like I know it all because I certainly do not. I originally wrote this with men in mind that were separated or divorced, but the sexual advice is great for any couple especially married ones. LOL. People of all age ranges from over eighteen obviously have liked the samples of the book they have read and have given me great reviews. I hope you also enjoy it.

I'm an a**hole. Ask anyone. My staff, the press, my ex-wife. They'd also tell you I'm a playboy, but they'd be wrong about that. I'm so much worse. Humiliating women, hurting them. That's what gets me off, even though it makes me sick with shame afterward. I broke up my marriage to the only woman I've ever loved because she deserved so much better than all the filthy things I wanted to say and do to her.But it turns out when I get access to a world where I can get what I want without drowning in guilt when it's over, I find my wife already there. Not only do I get schooled in the fact that it's not what I want that's bad, only how I've been going about getting it, but I also get a second shot with the love of my life. I'd do anything to get Pressly back; I'm just not sure anything I can offer will ever be enough.

Book Description
Rural Wisconsin, 1909. In the bitter cold, Ralph Truitt, a successful businessman, stands alone on a train platform waiting for the woman who answered his newspaper advertisement for "a reliable wife." But when Catherine Land steps off the train from Chicago, she's not the "simple, honest woman" that Ralph is expecting. She is both complex and devious, haunted by a terrible past and motivated by greed. Her plan is simple: she will win this man's devotion, and then, ever so slowly, she will poison him and leave Wisconsin a wealthy widow. What she has not counted on, though, is that Truitt — a passionate man with his own dark secrets —has plans of his own for his new wife. Isolated on a remote estate and imprisoned by relentless snow, the story of Ralph and Catherine unfolds in unimaginable ways. With echoes of Wuthering Heights and Rebecca, Robert Goolrick's intoxicating debut novel delivers a classic tale of suspenseful seduction, set in a world that seems to have gone temporarily off its axis.
