Her Flyboy Billionaire Boss
Holly Stevenson - 2019
Welcome to The Cove With heavy iron gates, two security stations, and a groundskeeper's cottage, The Cove has everything a billionaire could ask for in a home. Dubbed Billionaire Bachelor Cove because of the resident's single status and income portfolios, The Cove is the perfect place to hide away from the world. But, as the residents soon find out, they can't hide from love. Her Flyboy Billionaire Boss Kate Coleman isn’t looking for love—especially not at 30,000 feet. She enjoys her career as a flight attendant, but it isn’t enough to pay for her Dad’s ever-increasing medical bills. When she’s unexpectedly offered a job as a corporate flight attendant—at three times her current salary—it seems like an answer to prayer. However, Kate’s growing attraction to her roguish employer could lead to turbulence ahead. Lincoln Pierce has two loves in life: airplanes and money. With all the time he spends personally delivering private jets from Pierce Airways to clients in the Middle East, having a reliable flight attendant is key to his success. But the woman hired for the position sends his world into a tailspin. How is he supposed to focus on business transactions with the beautiful and mysterious Kate Coleman constantly in his view? As her employer, Lincoln can hardly make a move, and Kate isn’t willing to do anything to jeopardize her job. The attraction between them grows palpable and jealous coworkers enter the mix, forcing Lincoln and Kate to question if rough skies are in their future, or if love lies on the horizon.
