Renovating My Bossy Billionaire Grump by Aria McDow

Renovating My Bossy Billionaire Grump by Aria McDow

I came to renovate the British billionaire’s paradise resort… now I’m leaving with an island bump.

Winning a design competition brought me to Damon King’s outdated island resort.

An encounter in a dodgy elevator, and I mistake the powerful owner for a hot-looking construction worker with salt and pepper stubble.
One heated glance and I’m undone.

But working for Damon? Pure hell.
He hates change—on his island, in his life, in his heart.

He guards his secrets well, but watching him with his little girl reveals the tender heart beneath that no-nonsense exterior.

When a tropical storm strands us together those walls he’s built crumble against my fingertips.
Calloused hands caress my flesh…his smooth tongue takes me to downtown ecstasy.

I see — beach walks, candlelit dinners, a future bright as the Caribbean sun with a man learning to love again.
Until his college-aged daughter arrives. One look at me—close in age—and her accusations of “gold-digger” hurt.

Now I’m back in Tennessee, hugging the toilet each morning, wondering why I told the baby daddy that I left with much more than a great resume.

Some renovations are messier than others.

The Billionaire’s Secret Son by Brandy Sparks

About The Billionaire’s Secret Son by Brandy Sparks

In the gleaming towers of Manhattan’s financial district, Noah Hunter commands his cybersecurity empire with the same precision and control that defines every aspect of his life. His glass-walled penthouse offers panoramic views of the city but reveals nothing of the man within—a man whose carefully constructed walls have kept everyone at a calculated distance since that night five years ago.
Until Mia Thompson walks back into his office.
Standing before him in chef’s whites rather than prison garb, she’s a vision of resilience—auburn curls shorter than he remembers, hazel eyes carrying shadows that weren’t there before. The wrongfully convicted chef needs a second chance, and Noah’s exclusive new restaurant needs a culinary visionary.
What begins as a reluctant professional collaboration quickly ignites into something far more dangerous as their chemistry refuses to be contained…

Each line of code, each security contract, each business deal—calculated precision.
Until Mia Thompson stands in his office, requesting a position at his new restaurant.

A four-year-old boy with piercing blue eyes and analytical mind—the spitting image of his father.

Protected by Saint by Cassi Hart

Jade
When my roommate and best friend set me up with a job interview, I was grateful. I’d never been a server at a club before, but I had some waitressing experience, so how hard could it be? But when I arrived at the club, I realized I’d fallen into my worst nightmare. The club owner wasn’t interested in hiring any servers, that was merely a ruse to lure innocent girls like me into a trap. Before I’d even processed what’s happening, I was center stage being auctioned off to the highest bidder in a room full of cruel, rich men. They all wanted to win me for one night, to be the one to take my virginity. But the man who outbid the rest is nothing like I expected. No, he’s angry and terrifying, but his ire is for the men who dared traffic women in his territory. He whisks me away to safety just as the sound of gunshots fills the air. But once I learn who this man is, I have to ask myself if I’m ready to step into a world of crime and danger. Is Saint worth upending my whole life? Does he even want me for more than a few nights, or was he just playing at being a hero?

Saint
Being the president of a notorious motorcycle club comes with plenty of perks, but also a lot of headaches. One such headache is the man I followed to a seedy nightclub deep in Steel Rebels territory. I would have been content to grab my prey and leave if not for the vision of beauty who graces the stage shortly after my arrival. When I realize what’s really happening at this club—what these scum dared to do in my territory—I decide it’s time to remind the city who the Steel Rebels are and just what will happen if anyone crosses us. But first, I have to claim my winnings, and she’s just as beautiful and sweet as she looked on stage, and even more terrified up close. The pull I feel for Jade is immense, but I refuse to traumatize her further. Instead, I take her home and offer her safe place to stay. I’ll let her get settled in and rest for a bit before letting her know that, while I won’t force her to stay, my heart is telling me that Jade is mine, and I’ll do anything to have and to hold her for the rest of my life.

Welcome to the Steel Rebels MC, where these rebels blur the lines of morally gray and keep you guessing. This is a “lite” MC, insta-love, alpha heroes, standalones, and full HEA guaranteed.

Follow along as Saint leads the charge of this exciting motorcycle club series. He might even call in a favor or two from his cousin, Priest, President of the Steel Order MC. These guys know exactly what they want and will stop at nothing to claim what’s theirs. Enjoy your next swoon-worthy binge read!
