BOOK AND SERIES DESCRIPTIONS

World of Billionaires - How the books are interconnected...

9/24/2021

0 Comments

 
For those interested, here's a quick rundown of the books in this series.

The Greek Billionaire and I, a fast-paced read with lots of steamy, funny, and angsty bits, starts off with cynical Greek billionaire Mykolas finding the misplaced cellphone of schoolteacher Velvet, whose colleague is Mairi...and who happens to be the heroine of our next story, which is...

The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire is the first of Damen and Mairi's story, and it is FREE to read on Nook, Kobo, iTunes, and Google Play. I want it to be free, too on Amazon, but Amazon's taking a bit of time to price-match. There are six installments in total for this story, and alternatively, you can opt to buy The Greek Billionaire Romance Serials to get the entire set. Mairi grew up with her spinster aunts reading her old school Harlequin / Mills and Boon novels as bedtime stories (the PG version, of course). It turned her into a hopeless romantic who then dreamt of falling in love with her own Greek billionaire. And as it turns out, she ended up having not just one or two but three (maybe even four?) Greek billionaires "vying" for her hand. While Damen ultimately ended up being her one true love, the other Greek billionaire, Stavros Manolis, ended up starring in his own book, which is...

The Greek Billionaire and His Secretary is the first of Stavros and Willow's story, and it is FREE to read. There are four installments in total for this story, and alternatively, you can opt to buy The Greek Billionaire and His Secretary Boxed Set to have all four parts in one book. Willow is a foul-mouthed literary editor who has a (sort-of) one-night stand with Stavros, who then ends up becoming her boss. This starts off as a workplace affair before turning into a globe-trotting romance that, similar to all the books in this series, will have you laughing and crying and falling in love all over again. Along the way, we also meet Willem and Serenity, and these two will then become the main couple of our next book, which is...

My Dutch Billionaire is the first of Willem and Serenity's story, and it is also FREE to read. Alternatively, you can read their entire story by downloading My Dutch Billionaire (Complete Trilogy) instead. Willem is a Dutch billionaire who's rather infamous for being icily handsome with his blond hair and blue eyes as well as icily efficient. Serenity, who met Willem when he was dating her older sister, became later on known as Willem Jr. because like Willem,  she's icily beautiful (same blond hair and blue eyes) and icily efficient. This is a bit of a Cinderella retelling, with an age gap twist (he's fourteen years older). Anyway, one of Willem's closest friends is Kyrillos Gavis, whom we meet in this series and will soon see again in the next book, which is...

Pollyanna and the Greek Billionaire is my first marriage romance, and I think this story is one of the books that made me cry the hardest. The first book is free, but you can alternatively buy Pollyanna and the Greek Billionaire (Complete Trilogy) to read the book in one go. Anyway, when we first met Kyr in MDB, he was already separated from Pollyanna, and we even met his kids! In this book, we go all the way back to the beginning, and we find out how he first fell in love with Anna. As for the next book in the series, we'll head back to Netherlands and say hello to the de Konigh family again. If you remember Willem's younger brother Jaak, well...

Bad Boy Billionaire is the story of Jaak and Ilse and it's free to read in Kindle Unlimited. The book is based in Amsterdam, and it's one of my favorites because of how the scenery just became such an integral part of their romance. Jaak is the de Konigh clan's "black sheep" while Ilse is a hard-working tourist guide in Amsterdam's famous red light district. After this, we'll hop on to another de Konigh sibling, Anneke, whose love story is up next in...

My Italian Billionaire is a two-part story of Anneke, the younger sister of Jaak and Willem, and Marcus Ravelli, who you may have already met in one of my college romance books. Anneke and Marcus met when they were teenagers and reconnected again ten years later. Anneke considers herself too sensible and boring, but with the Italian billionaire she ends up doing lots of exciting things like...well, you'll have to read their story to find out. But after this, we'll head back to Miami, where Damen and Mairi now live. And speaking of Greek billionaires, you've met Acheron ever so briefly in The Greek Billionaire Romance Serials, and it's now his turn to fall in love in...

Acheron's Woman is the story of criminal-turned-billionaire Acheron and his employee Pippi, who's the breadwinner for her happy but all-too-large family with her single mother, two aunts, and four younger sisters. Pippi definitely hasn't any time with love, which is a good thing since Acheron is only after an affair. Or is it really a good thing? As for the next book, it's a Greek billionaire's younger sister whose turn to fall in love has come up in...

Truly, Madly, Deeply is my first contemporary professor-student romance, and this book is what I am and will always be most proud of. TMD is free to read with Kindle Unlimited so I do hope you give it a try. The story begins with Mairi's former student (now her sister-in-law) Diana on her first day in graduate school in a European winter town (think Swiss Alps) and right away earning the ire of her sexy, sarcastic, and mysterious professor. I love this book so much that I personally read this every so often, and it never fails to make me cry! After this, we head back to the USA again, since it's the last of Mairi's Greek billionaires who will be falling in love in...

Belonging to Ioniko: The Greek Billionaire's Obsession is the story of Schuyler and Ioniko, whom you first met in The Greek Billionaire Romance Serials. Ioniko is in the States to visit his younger sister Katya, who now owns a co-working space. It's there that he finds himself obsessed with Schuyler, who's the only woman in the place who hasn't tried to capture his attention.

What happens when a Dom and a Sub find each other too early in life? Should they turn their backs on their destiny just because they're too young?
Nerdy. Boring. Unavailable. 18-year-old Jaike Hepburn is happiest when those words are used to describe her. But then a billionaire playboy comes along, and it becomes impossible to deny her secretly submissive self.
Charming. Friendly. Perfect. This is what 21-year-old Derek Christopoulos strives to be for the sake of his parents' legacy. All his life, he's kept his darkness hidden, waiting for that one girl who'd take pleasure in belonging to him.
When Derek and Jaike finally met, they both knew the truth in an instant.
She is his, and he is hers.
Start reading for free today.
Derek smirked. "Did you come alone?" Every word that dropped from his lips felt like an invitation to make love. He was so intensely sexual Jaike had trouble breathing normally around him.
"No." It was so, so hard to keep her voice from shaking, and harder not to stare at Derek when he was this close. Hardest of all to ignore was the heat he exuded, enticing her to touch any part of his ruggedly toned body. He was muscled all over, and his tight black shirt and hip-hugging jeans made no secret of it.
He leaned close, his breath fanning her face as he whispered, "Want me to keep you company?"
That look, that voice, those words.
They were the reasons why Jaike hated being around Derek Christopoulos, would rather be anywhere else but near him. He made her feel clumsy and awkward, unable to decide where she should look or what was safe to touch.
"Nothing to say?" Look was such a tame word to describe how Derek's eyes devoured her. There was never an instance he didn't gaze at Jaike as if he possessed her, body and soul, and he was simply biding his time before he claimed ownership.
She needed to get away from Derek. Fast. Before her tumultuous emotions caused her to do something she'd forever regret.
"Get out of my way, Derek." Jaike winced at how weak she sounded.
"Not until you say please."
She bared her teeth. "Please."
Several heartbeats passed before Derek slowly drew back, his arms releasing her from his prison. He gave her a heart-stopping grin. "That was the first time I heard a girl say 'please' like she wanted to kill me."
Jaike scowled, just so she wouldn't accidentally smile.
But he saw through her, and his laugh said as much.

Previously published as The Rockstar I've Loved for So Long

French rockstar Dylan Charbonneau didn't mean to be best friends with an innocent schoolgirl like Bree...

And Bree certainly didn't mean to have a crush on a rock god notorious for his womanizing ways.
Dylan does everything to keep her at a distance, but Bree is tired of waiting.
She's willing to risk it all for love, but because Dylan knows it could never work out between them...
He'll just have to hurt the only girl he's cared about...for her sake.

Note: This book is a steamy first love standalone contemporary romance. HEA guaranteed.
Free with Kindle Unlimited
“You didn’t answer your phone, babe,” were the first words she heard when Bree finally managed to extract her phone from her gym bag and answer the call. The ringtone, assigned only to a single name in her contact list, said it all. She was so going to kick herself if she didn’t answer in time.
The words sounded more cool than accusatory, but since this was Dylan Charbonneau they were talking about, Bree knew it was secretly more of the latter.
“Sorry,” she apologized sincerely, a little out of breath as she collapsed on the bench, thoroughly winded after her hour-long run on the treadmill. “I left it in my locker with the rest of my stuff while I was working out.”
Bree’s words over the phone made Dylan want to groan. It called to mind all sorts of erotic images, of the now fabulously shapely Bree in a sports bra and tiny gym shorts, her skin sleek with sweat as he took her from behind.
Somehow, ever since Bree turned eighteen late last year, his desire for her knew no bounds. Dylan dreamt of taking her virginity and fucking her hard almost every night these days, forcing him to take a cold shower way too often for his liking.
It was hell, but he knew a far worse fate awaited him if he tried to act on his needs.
Bree was special. Bree was untouchable. Bree would and should…never be his.
“Be careful that you don’t work out too much,” he cautioned lightly. “I don’t want you turning yourself into a toothpick---”
“Like the supermodels you date?” she asked with acerbic sweetness.
Dylan chuckled, the sound intimate enough to make her shiver. “Don’t be a bitch, babe. You know they’re like that for work.”
“Ha!”
“Besides, I don’t give a damn if that’s what they want. It’s you I care about.”
He said the words so easily, Bree thought grumpily. Why couldn’t she do the same? Why couldn’t she just tell Dylan she loved him? They both knew he was – had always been – aware of her feelings for him anyway.
“Hmph.”
Dylan only chuckled again. “I miss you, you know.”
“Then come visit me so you won’t miss me any longer,” she said, doing her best to sound gruff. Just because the whole world knew she was head over heels in love with him didn’t mean she had to wear her heart on her sleeve all the time.
“If only I could,” he said, meaning it. He wanted so badly to fly to Florida and just be with her, but that would be suicidal. One look at a grown-up Sabrina Wyle and Dylan knew he would be on her and inside her, and to hell with the consequences.
“Why couldn’t you?” Bree winced at how whiny she sounded.
“Work,” Dylan said evasively, hating the fact that he was now forced to lie to her.
“Oh.”
And that sound of disappointment in Bree’s suddenly quiet voice? He hated that even more, but nothing was worse than knowing he was the reason for it.

A love transcending years. A Rockstar who believes he doesn't 'belong' to any ONE; he needs to be available for his many fans. Yet, realization comes at a price.

TOO SCARED TO LOVE: TEXTING A STRANGER ROMANCE

9/2/2021

Picture
When Greek billionaire Mykolas Sallis finds a misplaced cellphone...
Snarky-and-curvy schoolteacher Velvet can't believe the stranger she's been "texting" with turns out to be a man way, way out of her league.
Even more surprising: she ends up saying 'yes' to a marriage of conveniencewhile pretending she isn't head over heels with Mykolas.

Note: Steamy feel-good read with just the right pinch of heartbreak to make their happy-ever-after all the sweeter.

“Ms. Lambert? A gentleman found your phone in the faculty room.”
Velvet accepted the phone, bemused at the way the librarian was looking at her with interest. “A gentleman?” That seemed an odd way to refer to one of the male teachers, so she asked the younger girl, “Who is it?”
“He says he’ll call you.”
“Oh. Okay. Umm, thanks.” Slowly, she turned around and left the library, feeling like she had just had the oddest conversation in her life, and that was saying something. As she headed to the teachers’ dorm, her phone buzzed in her pocket, startling her.
Fishing it out and seeing an unidentified number, Velvet answered the call. “Hello?”
Mykolas leaned back against the plush cushions of his yacht’s custom-designed sofa. He had hoped to meet the intriguing Velvet Lambert – a little digging in her phone allowed him to figure out her name – but his meeting with his stepsister had to be cut short because of an emergency back in Athens.
Velvet’s frown was evident in her voice, and this made his smile widen. “You have found your phone then.”
The voice at the other end of the line was decidedly Greek, a deep accented baritone filled with sensual confidence and natural arrogance. Oh no, Velvet immediately thought. Her friend Mairi’s Greek billionaire sounded exactly like this, and look what had happened to her. Granted, Mairi and Damen Leventis were a couple now – they had just gotten engaged last night, in fact – but even so, the sheer amount of drama the two had gone through to earn their happy ever after was too much for Velvet.
And so she said crisply, “Yes, I did. Thank you for handing it to the librarian. Goodbye.”
Mykolas gazed at the phone in amusement. That was the first time a woman had hung up on him.
Velvet’s frown became more pronounced as her phone vibrated, signaling an incoming message. Persistent just like Mairi’s Greek billionaire. This really wasn’t good.
I have a confession to make, Velvet Lambert. I went through your phone and read a couple of your messages.
About to cross the street to get to the dorm, Velvet abruptly stopped walking with an infuriated gasp. How dare he?
All of them had come from your ardent admirers. Their devotion to you makes me want to see you and find out whether you are as desirable as they make you sound to be. However, I am not like most men who are easily swayed by appearance. I want my woman not only wonderful to look at but wonderful to spend time with as well.
I am sure that you are the same. So I propose a bet.
And that was that.
Velvet waited for another incoming message, but none came. If he thought leaving her hanging like that would make her call him---
Velvet’s phone rang, and she froze. Don’t answer it, Velvet, an inner voice cautioned inside her head. To distract herself, she resumed walking, crossing the street to get to the teachers’ dorm. She took the stairs steadily and tried to keep her heartbeat at pace with her steps.
Her phone stopped ringing just as she slid the key into the knob and unlocked her door.
Good, Velvet told herself. He’s lost his patience. She pushed the door shut with her hip and after dropping her bag to the floor, she threw herself on her bed and gazed up at the ceiling. Seconds ticked by. Slowly, she placed her hand on her heart, which was still thudding. Restlessness built inside her, and Velvet realized that she hadn’t been this annoyed – or this intrigued – in ages.
The librarian had called the person who found her phone a gentleman. Most likely, he wasn’t working for the school then. Was he a visiting professor? The thought had her wrinkling her nose.
Her phone rang again.
Before she could think twice, Velvet answered the phone. “Hello?”
Mykolas purred, “You sound breathless.”
Damn it, but she was. “Don’t take it personally,” she managed to quip. “I’m always like this when talking to potential stalkers.”
“You’d be lucky if I stalk you.”
Damn it, damn it, damn it but why did this man’s voice sound so sexy to her? He was arrogant as hell, which was usually a turn off for her but right now, it was the opposite. There was just something about his voice that told her this man had every right to be arrogant. He was that...desirable.

She was too pure for his world. Too good for a man like him. She had every reason to be scared, but instead she chose to fall in love...with him.
​
I should've gotten rid of her from the start.
Instead, I stole her away from her boyfriend.
I made her mine.
I made her believe I could keep her safe.
I made her think we had a future.
But instead I found myself breaking all of my promises.

“Look at me, Fawn.” He didn’t say anything else but instead waited patiently, knowing that she needed the time to accept that from here on, she could no longer run to Bennett when she was in trouble. Now, after the other man’s betrayal, it was Bennett she would be running away from.
When her eyes finally lifted to his, he asked simply, “Do you know why you don’t hurt when you’re with me?”
“B-because we’re friends?”
The prince smiled.
She smiled back.
Then the prince lowered his head, and before she realized what he was doing, he had already bitten her ear, whispering, “Friends don’t do this.” And his tongue licked the curve of her ear almost as if in emphasis.
She jumped back with a cry of shock, but the prince only shrugged. “You shouldn’t have done that!”
The prince only laughed. “I’ll do a lot more than that, and you’ll want me to do it.” He reached for her, and ignoring the way she stiffened, he tugged on a lock of her hair, rubbing the silky strands between his fingers.
His touch made her shiver, but still she forced herself to lift her chin, muttering stubbornly, “You’re wrong. I won’t want---”
“You will,” the prince countered in a husky purr, “and I can even make you beg for it…because it’s how I’m going to make the pain fade.” ​

After reading part 1 I went and started part 2 right away, I just had to know what was going to happen! Part 2 keep me on my toes! The sex scenes had me grinning, Prince and Fawn have such wonderful chemistry. The action and suspense had me up til 4Am finishing this book! I would definitely recommend reading both parts to this book and I sure hope one day we will get a small follow up book as well!

A Dangerous and Possessive Love: Bad Boy Mafia #1

He's powerful, merciless, and so, so dangerous that people call him the Prince of Darkness. And right now, the prince wants...me.

​I really should've known better.

His place looks more like a fortress than a home, and everyone living with him is armed to the teeth.
That should've been enough to send me running.
But because I was foolish, I ended up working for him.
A foolish lamb serving the terrifying wolf in a suit.
I thought having a boyfriend would make me immune to the Prince of Darkness.
I thought I could keep myself safe.
But I was wrong.

When Igor came back after escorting the girl out, the prince said idly, “She’s different, isn’t she?”
“In a good way, I believe.” Igor took his usual place, standing at the side of the prince.
Leaning back against his seat, the prince remarked, “She calls me ‘prince.’” While he was known as the Prince of Darkness, no one had really called him that to his face.
“Which you are one,” Igor pointed out.
He rolled his eyes. “Not by blood or appointment, and you know that.”
“The people on the island think differently.” When the prince had turned eighteen, he had received a posthumous bequest from Rodrigo amounting to millions of dollars, all of which he had used to build new infrastructure on the island he had grown up in as well as set up livelihood programs for victims of gang-related crime.
The prince shook his head. “I’m just giving back what was theirs from the start.”
“Not many others would.” Igor’s tone was unusually cynical, but both of them knew he spoke the truth. Seeing the prince’s expression turn grim, he changed the subject, saying, “I believe you’ve made the right decision with the girl.”
“Do you?” The prince’s tone was unreadable.
Igor nodded firmly. “I am certain it has not escaped your notice that the last five women we dismissed had all made the mistake of thinking you were in love with them.”
The prince let out an inelegant snort.
“Exactly, sir. Ms. Cornwall, however, is unlikely to do the same. After all, she is engaged to Mr. Grant Bennett---”
“Who, according to you,” the prince interrupted in a lazy drawl, “is my opposite.”
“Your exact opposite, sir.”
The prince raised a brow. “Did you really need to emphasize that?”
The older man’s expression remained bland. “Ms. Cornwall has been fortunate enough to find herself a good man to love, and I believe that Mr. Bennett is equally fortunate to have someone like Ms. Cornwall as his fiancée. It would be a pity if her employment with us would cause problems in the relationship.”
“Is that your roundabout way of telling me,” the prince drawled, “I should keep my hands off her?”
“Your words, not mine, sir.”
The prince rolled his eyes. “She’s not my type, Igor.”
“I am overjoyed to hear that, sir.” But privately, Igor wasn’t so certain. After all, when the girl had answered back, the prince had neither reprimanded nor fired her, which he normally would have done. Instead, the younger man had almost…smiled.
A genuine smile, which Igor had only seen the prince doing in the company of his small circle of friends.
But with the women he took to bed?
Never.​

A Dangerous and Possessive Love by Marian Tee was one of the most provocative, enticing stories I’ve ever read….!!!!!! It’s the story of Reid (Prince) and Fawn. She’s going to University and is engaged to Grant. She applies at a job with Reid, the Prince of Darkness…well-known for his decadent, wild parties and lots of women. They quietly, secretly entranced with one another…

This is the most delicious, tantalizing ‘chase’ I’ve ever read!!!!! Wonderfully romantic, endlessly captivating. I loved this story…and it isn’t over yet!!! Absolutely LOVED it and can’t wait for book 2!!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
