Playboy Billionaire


Mia Ford - 2017
    I went from small girl to businesswoman extraordinaire in the course of just an hour.  There was just one catch. He was tall, dark, and handsome. His name was Justin Long.  And he was the son of the wealthiest man in New York City. Not to mention a bastard playboy, who had never had a job, much less a relationship. William P. Long hired me to be a writer and administrative assistant. But as soon as Justin started acting up again, William knew that his son was going to take some real instruction.  And little did I know, I was William’s pick for the perfect girl to whip this bad boy into shape.  The only problem?  Justin’s devilish sapphire eyes and my virginal heart. A dangerous, explosive combination.  Would I let Justin break my heart? Or would Justin’s rebellious nature merely break my ways? This is SEXY SUPER STEAMY romance book with HEA, no cheating and no CLIFFHANGER!!! Also included are some exclusive bonus stories inside right after the main book for your reading pleasure. So go ahead and have FUN!!!

Kandi's Crush


Michelle Karise - 2019

At least there’s a consolation prize. My client is fabulously successful, insanely rich Chadwick St. Clair. We have sort of a history. As a pigtailed kid, I lived to torment him. When I grew old enough to notice his hard-as-steel body, warm eyes, and gentle voice that talked me through some hard times, I crushed on him. Hard.My first glimpse of him in three years proves nothing has changed. He still makes my mouth water, my hands shake. But our history—and his reputation as a playboy with broken hearts from New Orleans to DC—isn’t the only thing standing between us. And a summer of breathless kisses and addictive encounters may not be enough to build a lasting love.
