I asked her to marry me to save my company, I never thought I would fall in love with her.

Ryan:
My company, my life’s work, everything I’ve built is on the line. The solution is simple: I need to get married, and I need to do it fast. From a business standpoint, it makes sense. A marriage of convenience that is mutually beneficial. Mika, my brilliant assistant, stands to gain just as much as I do. On paper, it’s the perfect arrangement. It even solves the inconvenient complication of being attracted to someone I technically shouldn’t date. But no matter how logical it looks, no matter how professional I try to keep it, it doesn’t change one thing. I want her. And not just as my wife in name only—I want her to be mine in every way.

Mika:

I’ve always been focused on my career. Driven, ambitious, determined to get ahead. So when Ryan offered me the opportunity of a lifetime, I didn’t hesitate to say yes. At first, it was just a business deal. A chance to secure both our futures. But everything changed when I became his wife. What started as a calculated decision has turned into something I never expected. I’m falling for him. And now, I don’t just want the job or the benefits. I want him, forever.

The Billionaire’s Fake Marriage is a stand-alone, dual-narration billionaire office fake romance set in New York City. Come for the chemistry, stay for the feel, This love story delivers heat, heart, and a happy ending that’s worth every page.

He needs to start a new story for his life. She’s dealing with a lot of family issues. Can Slate and Jill find solace in each other at Hope Eternal Ranch?

Slate Sanders has been out of prison for a couple of months now. He keeps his head down and his mouth shut around the ranch, and not just because he’s only a temporary cowboy. He’s not sure what to participate in, because he’s still trying to figure out who he is post-prison.

When he encounters Jill Kyle on the beach one morning, he can’t help but go see what she’s raging about. He’s worried for her safety, and it’s not until he gets closer that he realizes she works on the same ranch as him.

Jill has just learned about her mother’s devastating illness, and she’s ready to take all of her frustrations out on the beach, the ocean, and the Lord. As Jill and Slate connect over things lost, things gained, and an uncertain future, they both heal in unexpected ways. Jill didn’t think she’d ever find someone to settle down with, and Slate has never had a serious relationship in his life.

But together, they seem to make sense in a world where nothing does.

With Christmas on the horizon, can Slate and Jill find themselves, create a new story for their future, and let go of the past before their heartache pushes them apart? Cowboys looking for a second chance at life, love, and happiness.

She’s been in love with her grumpy billionaire boss for years. Quitting should be easy. So why can’t she walk away?

Cari’s done. Three years of running Jett Knight’s life—dodging his moods, cleaning up his messes, and watching him date women who aren’t her—has finally pushed her over the edge. She’s handing in her resignation.

But Jett Knight doesn’t take orders. He gives them. And there’s no way in hell he’s letting Cari go.

He needs her—more than he’ll ever admit. His billion-dollar empire runs smoother when she’s by his side. His five-year-old daughter adores her. And the thought of Cari walking away? Unacceptable.

So he makes her an offer. One she should refuse.

But resisting Jett? That’s never been Cari’s strong suit…

Jett is an age gap, single dad, steamy billionaire boss romance. It’s the first book in a scorching billionaire series featuring six powerful brothers, a ruthless family empire, and the cold, calculating father who rules it all.

After a gaslighting ex turns her love life into a cautionary tale, she swears off distractions—especially six-foot-something hockey players she’s been hired to make look marketable. 

Then the team’s Halloween party happens, and she’s swept off her feet by a man who makes her forget every rule she’s ever set. One tiny problem: she never saw his face.

Keeping the secret lets him live both lives—the bold stranger she can’t forget and the man terrified of saying the wrong word. But the closer they get, the harder it is to hide, and the more he risks losing the one woman who finally sees him.
