Returning to my childhood home feels surprisingly nice, but this is no vacation. I’m a man on a mission, and as soon as I clear my friend’s name, it’s back to Philly to be named partner in one of the most prestigious law firms on the East Coast. I need to stay focused. Which would be a lot easier if I didn’t keep running into Zara Phillips, an intriguing, hot as hell newcomer to Bridgewater. She makes it very clear she wants nothing to do with me, yet the looks she gives me send a different message. Charming Zara should be the last thing on my mind, but the more time I spend with her, the more I want to stay in Bridgewater. She’s a once-in-a-lifetime woman, and when I finally catch her attention, I want to keep it. Too bad she’s made it very clear she wants to remain in this small town. Staying would be career suicide. Leaving might cost me the love of my life. What’s a guy to do?

I've made a lifetime of bad decisions, but I always land on my feet. Every damn time. My father says that's the problem. But he says a lot of things about me, none of them very nice. I finally have a chance to show him, to show everyone, I'm more than a pretty boy who parties hard with his parents’ money. My business partner Enzo and I have developed a product that will change the world. There's just one snag. Ada Flemming, the FDA official who controls our company’s fate, is the most compelling woman I’ve ever met. Even though it could cost me everything—my friendship with Enzo, my business, and my one chance at redemption—I can’t seem to stay away from her. Pursuing Ada might be the biggest screwup of all—the only bad decision I don’t bounce back from. But it’s too late to start making safe decisions now.

"Hello, Enzo." With just two simple words, Chari Atwood storms back into my life. Beautiful. Irresistible. The woman standing before me is not the girl I knew growing up. And I'm not the same hopeful kid everyone thought was going nowhere fast. Nowadays, I'm a hero. A celebrity. A man who isn't content with the billions in his bank account. Call me ambitious if you want. I have my sights set on the rest of the world, and don't have time for a relationship—even with the one woman who still has the power to bring me to my knees. I will not break. I will not succumb. Except that I'm used to getting exactly what I want, and after one chance encounter, it's clear that what I want is Chari Atwood . . . Even if she is my best friend's little sister. Billion Dollar Date is a second chance standalone romance with its own HEA. For readers who enjoy big Italian families and sexy brothers who love to outdo each other, it can also be read as a part of the Boys of Bridgewater series.

“Too early seen unknown, and known too late.” ~Juliet Capulet Of all the women in the world, or at least in Bridgewater, why did I have to fall for this one? When she walked into my brother’s wedding reception, I fell quick and hard. Until I learned her name. Nope. No way. Not for me. I have no intention of dating my biggest competitor. The new owner of Mama Leoni’s Restaurant is clearly off-limits. But when a local newspaper links us as a couple, my brother suggests we play it up for “good press.” I agree. For the sake of my new restaurant. Not because the mere sight of Evie Fuller sets my blood on fire. Turns out the only thing more complicated than a fake relationship with my biggest rival is a real one. This situation has gotten out of hand much too quickly. Time to cool it down or risk getting burned.
