My Best Friend, the Billionaire


Serenity Woods - 2019
    The two of us are poles apart.So I’ve trained myself not to think of him in that way.Not to think of kissing him, undressing him slowly.Of sliding beneath the bedclothes. Of having his hands on my skin.I don’t think of it at all.I can’t. Because Hal never stays with a girl for long, and if he were to have me, then leave me, my heart would break into a million pieces, and I’d never be able to put it together again.But then he tells me he’s fallen in love with someone. I try to guess who, and he just smiles.“Izzy,” he says patiently, “it’s you.”Oh no.*The Billionaire Kings is set in Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary and features the sons of the heroes from the USA Today bestselling Three Wise Men series of sexy holiday romances. The books are all standalones, and you don’t have to have read the Three Wise Men to enjoy The Billionaire Kings, but if you have read them you will hopefully have fun meeting up with Brock, Charlie, and Matt occasionally in these stories! This new series takes place approximately thirty years after the Three Wise Men, but it’s not set ‘in the future’. I just thought it would be fun to write a new series that had a connection to one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
