Just Playing House
Forced proximity and celebrity romance collide in this delightful novel from the highly praised author of Accidentally Engaged.
Stylist Marley Kamal has waited years for the chance to be a private shopper for a major celebrity. But finding out that her first big client is the guy she went to prom with - and was promptly ghosted by - seems like the universe is mocking her. Because now Nikhil Shamdasani is back in her life, about to star in a major movie, and is more drop-dead hot than ever . . . at the worst possible time.
Marley''s weeks away from an elective double mastectomy and breast reconstruction that''s supposed to save her life. But this surgery is going to change things in more ways than she can possibly imagine. For one, Nik is so eager to have her as his stylist that he''s offered to stay in her home and take care of her while she recovers.
Now Marley is about to learn that as the door to her old life closes, something - or rather someone - else will enter . . . if she''s ready to let him in.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
