The Librarian and the Billionaire Bad Boys
Shae Sullivan - 2019
Daphne I always lived for my fantasies. At first, they were innocent ones. Stories of princesses and the princes who love them. But as I grew older, my desires changed. I wanted bad things. Forbidden things. Because my ‘happily-ever-after’ didn’t end in a beautiful wedding and a white picket fence. No—mine was darker . . . naughtier. Just like in the books I loved. Books where women were treated like queens—had harems—women who couldn't choose between two princes, so she just had them both. I never imagined I’d have the chance to live out my fantasies. Until I met them. They’re everything your daddy warns you about. Dark, dominant, and demanding. A good girl like me shouldn’t want this—but I can’t stop myself. My fantasies have become reality and I don’t want to give them up. But when lies are revealed and trust is broken, sometimes there isn’t a way back. And I’m starting to think that it’s safer to find love in the pages of a romance novel, instead of real life. Jean Luc/Devon We have it all. Billions in the bank, a rock-solid friendship, and enough women to last a lifetime. But don’t be misled. We aren’t the good guys. In fact, we’re the exact opposite. We take what we want—and we don’t apologize for it. Our life is perfection . . . or at least that’s what we used to believe. Until one lucky night puts her in our path. She’s gorgeous, innocent, and thoroughly seductive, with long legs and ‘come f*ck me’ glasses. We instantly knew we had to have her. And we did, again and again. What we didn’t expect—was to fall for her, completely and utterly. But when Daphne is put in danger, thanks to our business, will she ever forgive us? Or will she simply walk away for good? The Librarian and The Billionaire Bad Boys is a standalone panty-drenching, thigh-aching, action-packed MFM Bad Boy Billionaire Menage Romance. If you like dominant bad boys who know how to turn a good girl to the dark side . . .this book is for you!
