A Billionaire For Lexi

A Billionaire For Lexi: Holiday Novella by Ruth Cardello Clay Landon has never taken himself or his life of privilege seriously.

It’s a pretty damn good life until he meets Lexi Chambers, an equally free spirit who is completely unimpressed by him or his wealth. Having her becomes his obsession. Lexi Chambers knows how to get into trouble and does so with a skill acquired by doing it a shit–Let’s just say a lot. Her sister, Willa, recently married into the wealthy Barrington family and Lexi is trying to stay on her best behavior.One too-sexy-for-his-own-good, Clay, will test her resolve. He’ll make her laugh and push her to, once again, believe in possibilities. Just in Thyme by Jeannette Winters World-renowned chef, Vincent Moretti, could have anyone, anything, anytime.

Renita was confounding, a woman who challenged Vincent, a woman so enchanting he couldn’t resist. Wouldn’t resist. She was also determined to ignore the allure of the devastatingly handsome Chef Moretti. Vincent ignited such passion within her that shook her steadfast sense of responsibility. Thrown together during a snow storm, more than food will be cooking in the kitchen.
