She just wanted to get far, far away from New York and her ruined career. Activities director Cory Gillette is the kind of man who is hard to resist, though, and Olivia finds that maybe she doesn’t want to resist anyway! The ramp was made of a pierced steel grating, and with Olivia's first full step onto it, her spiked high heel went straight through and jammed. Thrown completely off balance, she teetered, clutched for a nonexistent handrail, lost her balance completely, and toppled head-first into the murky waters of the harbor. The last thing she heard before the surprisingly warm waters of the harbor closed over her head was Rosie's shriek of horror. She might never have learned to drive, but she had certainly learned to swim. After a brief panicky flail, she righted herself and kicked back up to the surface, clamping her lips tight and holding her breath. Her head broke the surface and she heard.... Not more shrieks of horror, but a deep guffaw of laughter. Cory was leaning off the boat, extending a tanned hand in her direction, and absolutely laughing his ass off. less

Sunfish Island Resort seems like the perfect place for Jace Hunter to recover from a serious illness… as long as nobody figures out his family owns the island. Meeting Nessa, a psychiatrist turned bartender, Jace comes to realize that maybe the society life he’s been living isn’t where his future happiness lies. Tempted to pour him some iced water, she asked instead, “Virgin?” Jace blinked in surprise. “It’s been a while, but no, I’m not.” The bartender threw her head back and laughed... moreSunfish Island Resort seems like the perfect place for Jace Hunter to recover from a serious illness… as long as nobody figures out his family owns the island. Meeting Nessa, a psychiatrist turned bartender, Jace comes to realize that maybe the society life he’s been living isn’t where his future happiness lies. Tempted to pour him some iced water, she asked instead, “Virgin?” Jace blinked in surprise. “It’s been a while, but no, I’m not.” The bartender threw her head back and laughed. She was pretty, Jace had noticed that right off: her skin a rich dark bronze with black hair falling to her waist in a mass of tiny braids. When she laughed, she was really beautiful, dimples appearing in her cheeks, light amber-brown eyes flashing with mirth. “I was asking if you want a hard or a soft drink. Alcoholic, or not,” she said through girlish giggles. The Reluctant Billionaire first appeared in the Billionaire Ever After box set and is now available for the first time as a standalone read. less
