Golden Gate Billionaires Series by Cora North

A billionaire in need of an assistant. A high-stakes poker game. The prize he demands? Me.

He has me thrown into a holding cell and thrown out of a meeting within the first week. He will be this boss tamer’s greatest challenge. Well, I love a challenge. Kill them with kindness is my motto... moreA billionaire in need of an assistant. A high-stakes poker game. The prize he demands? Me. Anthony Sorvino may be an Italian Stallion with a huge, um… bank balance but he’s also an assistant-firing, beast of a boss and control freak with a list of rules a mile long. He has me thrown into a holding cell and thrown out of a meeting within the first week. He will be this boss tamer’s greatest challenge. Well, I love a challenge. Kill them with kindness is my motto. You show me a dark cloud, I’ll show you its silver lining. I wear a smile and carry a fresh fruit smoothie everywhere I go. And, if I last three months as his assistant, I can cash in big and make my dream a reality. Eyes on the prize. Bring it on, bosshole. But, between flirty bickering at the office and late-night confessions, I catch glimpses of the man with a heart of gold and more than a few scars under the grumpy exterior. His sizzling hot kisses soon have me breaking the one rule I never meant to break - never fall in love with the boss. The stakes are high and men like him don’t play fair. Will I wind up losing it all? (This is a steamy, grump/sunshine office romance between a scowling CEO and his optimistic assistant. Part one of a series but can be read as a stand-alone, no cheating, no cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after.) less

I’m not going down without a fight... moreMy red-hot vacation fling turns out to be my cold-blooded billionaire enemy. The sizzling surfer charmed me out of my bikini for one unforgettable night but that was before I truly knew who he was. Dean Culver is a calculating shark in a thousand-dollar suit. Growing up, his family name was a curse word in my house and now his company’s snapped up my little tech firm, planning to downsize and devour. But, I’ve already lost enough this year. I’m not going down without a fight. After convincing him to give all of us a chance to keep our jobs, he demands we have regular meetings to discuss it. Over dinner. He still wants me and, no matter how much I hate him, maybe we need to get each other out of our systems… again, and again, and again. It means nothing. Men don’t stick around anyway so what’s the harm? Except, we both have scars in need of healing and he’s not as cold-blooded as I believed while every kiss brings me closer to surrender. Risking my heart was never part of the plan. Will I win this fight or wind up losing it all? (This is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers office romance between a charming executive and his once-bitten/twice-shy adversary. It is a stand-alone romance though it’s part of a series. No cheating, no cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after.) less
