Young Billionaires

Bailey Sheppard had loved Nick Heart for as long as she could remember. They had been best friends in school and had graduated to a friends-with-benefits arrangement after she left home to study at a university two states away. Their once a month weekends were the highlight of her life, when he would fly in to visit her and she would have him all to herself for the entire, uninterrupted weekend. And then he told her he was getting married. Bailey's perfect world was threatening to implode and she had to do something to set it to rights. She needed Nick in her life, she wanted to be the one he married and lived happily ever after with. So, she hatched a plan to stop the wedding and steal the groom. And then she met Hunter. Hunter Green, the reclusive aviation billionaire, offered to act as her boyfriend to make the groom jealous and help her put a stop to the wedding. But his beautiful green eyes and the way he made her feel when he touched her cause her to question her loyalty and feelings towards Nick. Oh, and he just happens to be Nick's stepbrother. Now she had feelings for Hunter that won't be denied, but what did that mean for her future with Nick? Did she take a chance on a new relationship with Hunter or should she stay the course and reach for the happily ever after she'd always imagined with Nick?

Brooks Barry was a corporate shark and one of the youngest billionaires in Australia. For five years he travelled the world, buying up floundering businesses, streamlining them and then selling them off for profit. He was good at what he did, but there was something missing in his life. When one of his good friends fell in love, Brooks decided that maybe it was time to go home and actually live in the mansion he'd built for his wife before she left him for her ex-boyfriend. Seeing Hunter and Bailey together made Brooks think that maybe he could find that if he would only stop running from the heartbreak of his divorce. Harper Fenwick had been a nanny for four and a half years, but she'd never had to face this situation before. Her employer, Heather, had decided that she was sick of being a single mother and instructed Harper to take her daughter, Piper, to her father. The only problem was that he didn't know she existed. When she first laid eyes on Brooks Barry, she could barely get a word out due to a large part of her brain shutting down as lust took over her frontal cortex. She immediately developed a major crush on her boss and she still had to explain about the four year old little girl who was dying to meet him.

Mason Pressfield likes his quiet, solitary, ordered life. He likes his mostly nocturnal existence, working late into the night and sleeping through the day. He likes the quiet of his apartment, one of only two on his floor, and he especially likes being able to escape from people whenever he wants to. It's not that he doesn't like other people he just finds them so... draining. So what if two of his friends have found their forever partners, it doesn't mean that he is missing out on anything. He's not the relationship type, anyway, and he likes to be able to keep the women in his life at arms length, he likes to have complete control over any and all interactions with them. So why is his new neighbour getting under his skin? And what the hell are those strange noises coming from her apartment in the middle of the night? Abby Sutherland chose her apartment because it was only one of two on that floor and the building manager assured her that her neighbour was the type to keep to himself. She likes her anonymity and a quiet, unobtrusive neighbour is exactly what she needs. Abby has a secret that she is bound and determined to keep just that, secret, and the last thing she needs is a nosy neighbour butting in and trying to find all the skeletons in her closet. When she first sees her new neighbour, it isn't under exactly ideal conditions and may have even come across as slightly suspicious. And then he catches her again, also in a compromising position and she starts to doubt the wisdom of choosing this particular apartment. Even though she knows she needs to keep away from him, she is drawn to her tall, dark and handsome neighbour and her very active imagination begins to use him as her muse for all sorts of fantastic tales. But will the real Mason be a disappointment as she gets to know him, or is he exactly what she has been fantasising about all along?

Declan was just being a nice guy. He saw a woman in need of assistance and he stepped in and pretended to be her fiancé. It was just the kind of guy he was; a knight in shining armour ready to rescue the damsel in distress. Yes, she was pretty - beautiful, gorgeous, a goddess - but he would have done it for anyone...probably. It was only fair that she return the favour when he found himself in need of a fake girlfriend. It wasn't meant to go anywhere. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement and they both knew the rules going in. He wasn't free to fall in love. There were...complications...that prevented him from pursuing her for anything more than just a fun time between adults. But you know what they say about best laid plans... Brandi wanted it all - a career she loved, a happy home, the husband, the white picket fence, and the two-point-five kids. That was the dream. Unfortunately, for Brandi when men looked at her they saw something other than a potential life partner, they saw an opportunity to tick something off their bucket list. Blonde, beautiful and bearing a striking resemblance to a certain famous blonde-haired, blue-eyed doll, Brandi was a Marilyn when she desperately wanted to be a Jackie. So when she met Declan and he treated her like a person instead of just a piece of arm candy, of course she was going to develop feelings for him. The only problem? Their little agreement. And then things got complicated...

Willa had a plan. Get a good job and marry a billionaire. Growing up below the poverty line with a mother who was physically present but emotionally distant had made Willa wary of love. In her world love equaled pain, so her solution was to marry for money, not love. Part one of the plan was successful. She had just scored the perfect job at Ashby Chocolates. Now it was time to put the second half of the plan into action and Jonathon Ashby was in her sights. Jonathon Ashby was being impersonated and he didn't have a clue who it might be. The guy was gallivanting around town handing out Ashby Chocolates like they were candy and giving him a way bigger media profile than he was comfortable with. Jonathon had no clue what the guy's end game was but he was determined to find out before the imposter did something detrimental to the company Jonathon had built into an empire. The only way to do that was to go under-cover as Jake Campbell in his own company and see if he could ferret the imposter out. He hadn't planned on meeting Willa. And he definitely hadn't planned on falling for her, especially when she was looking for a rich man to take her away from all her troubles just like his absentee-mother.

"I got stuck in an elevator with a Christmas elf," was not a sentence Zoë Farraday ever thought she would have to utter. And to have it happen in the building of her brand spanking new job kind of made the entire situation worse. Of course she had to then have a melt-down in front of him to make her humiliation complete. Asking him to come home with her for Christmas and pretend to be her boyfriend was madness and her only excuse was the trauma of her near-death experience by way of plummeting elevator. Or perhaps the way he filled out that elf costume momentarily melted her brain. It may also have had something to do with her mother's meddling and the very real possibility of being set up with one of her dad's colleagues that pushed her over the edge. She didn't think he'd accept. Blake Austin-AKA the Christmas Elf-spent the previous twelve months back-packing around the world in an attempt to 'find himself.' Growing up as the middle child in a family that only ever cared about the almighty dollar messed him up and his only redemption was to escape the toxic environment and find out who he really was when all the trappings of wealth were stripped away. Now he was back and determined to somehow mend the ragged, torn seams of his family and Christmas was the perfect time to do it. Except none of his family planned to be in the country. Abandoned at Christmas by his family made the outrageous proposal from Zoë more than tempting. And it didn't hurt that she was a knock-out. It was only for a week and it was only pretend...what could go wrong?
