  On Nami’s thirtieth birthday, she’s reminded at every turn that her life isn’t what she’d planned. She’s always excelled at everything—until now. Her fiancé blew up their engagement. Her pride and joy, the tech company she helped to found, is about to lose funding. And her sister, Sora, is getting married to the man of her dreams, Jack—and instead of being happy for her, as Nami knows she ought to be, she’s fighting off jealousy. 
   
  Frustrated with her life, she makes a wish on a birthday candle to find her soulmate. Instead the universe delivers her hate mate, Nami’s old nemesis, Jae Lee, the most popular kid from her high school, who also narrowly beat her out for valedictorian. More than a decade later, Jae is still as effortlessly cool, charming, and stylish as ever, and, to make matters worse, he’s planning a hostile takeover of her start-up. Cue sharp elbows and even sharper banter as the two go head-to-head to see who’ll win this time. But when their rivalry ignites a different kind of passion, Nami starts to realize it’s not just her company that’s in danger of being taken over, but her heart as well.

  Out of the Frying pan is an exceedingly dark comedy that follows the story of Luther LaMotta and Martini Conti as they escape the death and dismemberment they have left behind in New York. Driving a brand new, stolen Lincoln Town Car the only plan they have is to lay low and try to out wit the gangsters that have been sent to kill them. Over the course of their exodus from danger they pick up a cavalcade of people. Some will become new friends, some lovers, and others maniacal hunters desperate for vengeance. This thrill ride will leave you spent and exhausted from the action, with your face hurting from laughing. Just like in it's prediseser, Luther, there's plenty of death murder and mayhem. But, hey, in THIS book I don't tie anyone to a chair and set them on fire burning down an entire strip club--but you'll wish I had. Double plus, you might laugh pee your pants, just a little.
