THE BILLIONAIRE'S BEACH SERIES


Take Me Tender

He’s sworn to go a summer without women. She’s given up on men. What could possibly go wrong?

Bachelor-about-town Jay Buchanan doesn’t want a woman in his life, but a guy’s gotta eat so he puts out feelers for a private chef. If the best applicant’s female, so what? More needs to come out of his Billionaire’s Beach kitchen in Malibu than peanut butter and beer, and he’s in no mood for romance anyway.

Long ago Nikki Carmichael learned to put up her guard when it comes to guys, and her new client, Jay Buchanan, is the manliest man she’s ever met. She figures ignoring his magnetism will turn him away…but instead it backfires, and Jay is only further intrigued by the woman who refuses to fall at his feet.

They flirt, they fight, they ultimately share a bed and then their deepest secrets…but can these two trust that what seems like a summer fling is truly the love of a lifetime?

Take Me Forever

Juliet Weston thinks her chance at love has passed…until a tough ex-soldier proves her fiery passions have merely been banked—just waiting for the right man to make fire.

Juliet moves to Malibu for a fresh start and with the belief that her happy ever after is gone forever. But one glimpse of a wet and naked former soldier has her tingling…and wondering if life might hold a sexy surprise after all.

For months, Noah Smith has watched Juliet from afar and now he knows it’s time to make his move. The blonde beauty is uptown all the way, but overcoming his rough upbringing has taught him that quitters never win…and he intends to triumph.

In the California paradise of Billionaire’s Beach, two lonely hearts find a blistering passion—that could become a blissful forever.

The Scandal

Escaping scandal, Sara Smythe takes work and refuge at an empty beachside estate—until sexy owner Joaquin Weatherford arrives. Will his famous face put her own in the spotlight?

Sara’s job as a newly minted butler is to turn the neglected Malibu house into a welcoming showplace, but she’d hoped to do so without the owner interfering. But now the too-attractive Joaquin is on site and wants his hands on everything…and maybe she wants them on her, too.

Wealthy businessman Joaquin Weatherford didn’t anticipate a housemate in the guise of a beautiful blonde butler. He’s been immersed in work, but now he has time to smell the roses—and the perfume of the oh-so-tempting Sara. Neither is looking for romance, let alone love, but under a California sun two wary hearts might open to a brighter future together.

The Seduction

She desperately needs a job. The position he offers sounds suspiciously like a wife. What does the mysterious Mr. Curry have up his sleeve?

After graduating from the prestigious Continental Butler Academy, Emmaline Rossi wants to use her new skills. But the wealthy tech exec seems to have more in mind that someone to merely manage the household. Emmaline has that empty wallet, however…and also finds herself wildly curious about the handsome and sexy Lucas Curry.

Lucas doesn’t have time for complications, with his company involved in a merger and the little sister he’s responsible for about to be married. A butler to handle all the pesky life details sounds like a great idea…until he sees the beautiful Emmaline. Until he begins to realize he can’t resist her.

Until he wonders why she’s so determined to run from the ecstasy she finds in his arms.

The Secret

With her secret, falling in love would be all kinds of bad…

Being butler to widower and single father Ethan Archer is a dream for Charlotte “Charlie” Emerson. She keeps the businessman’s household running hitch-free and enjoys every minute she has with his six-year-old son. But as time passes, the situation feels alarmingly intimate and when her heart starts beating faster each time Ethan steps through the door, Charlie must exert rigid control over her feelings.

Ethan Archer values the woman who keeps his life in order and cares so much for his motherless boy. He and Charlie act in perfect harmony and it’s not hard to picture them as a little family…in fact, it’s so easy, one reckless night he proposes a marriage of convenience.

What will he do if Charlie says yes? And worse, what if she tells him no?
